Can you ID this plant please?
Hi,
Yesterday I was given this plant by the owner of the nursery/landscape gardening company where two of my daughters are currently working, on the condition that I can identify it! So.......... I am hoping that with the help of the collective brains of Urg, it will be possible ;-) Thanks in anticipation, Marina E. Sx www.pinkdesigns.co.uk/garden.html |

They are held up flat, a bit like an iris. The flowers twirl up in a spiral when they are finished, like a morning glory. Any more ideas? Marina |

The plants in the photograph in this site are not 'tiger lilies' (Lilium tigrinum) but good old fashioned 'day lilies - Hemerocallis. Now the unidentified plant is ironically, the 'leopard flower' or 'blackberry lily' - Belamcandra chinensis, so you're nearly there. Its a rather pleasing, hardy, rhizomatous perennial from Japan and China flowering over a period of about 5 or 6 weeks in mid-summer. After the flowers have set, they are followed by glistening black seeds which can persist well into winter. Give it a sunny spot and it will slowly develop into a handsome clump.

I've never heard of it, so Bob dear, if you're feeling *very* generous, please may I have some seeds whenever seems appropriate and if you can spare them? -- It's a bit late to go rooting around the garage right now but I'm sure I have some somewhere, if not it won't be too many weeks before there are this seasons to harvest. Whilst I will be planting a lot for myself and a neighbour I'm sure there will be enough to send you a packet, and when grown, what you don't use in your garden Ray might find some homes for. :-) regards Bob. |
