What is this bush/tree/plant?

[gentlegreen]

looks like a tradescantia - from the triple (whorled) leaf arrangement.

Is this school in the tropics ?

the first one is a cheeseplant! or Monstera deliciosa i had no idea they fruited with edible fruit. My nan had one.

Dunno about the other one?

Yes! Haven't seen one for years, want another now

Cheers, nice colour. Tropical garden in a huge atrium

I found this on my travels along the Bristol to Bath path :-



It doesn't seem to have a square stem ...

 

[gentlegreen]

And this reputedly medicinal herb that I actually know the name of was growing nearby if one needs cheering up ....

Bit of a long shot but I have a couple of woodland grasses that I'd like to ID, if anyone knows anything about them?

 

[gentlegreen]

Why not just upload them anyway ?

 

[Bingo]

ok here goes, 1st one is short 20cm and thin, 2nd is tall 80cm.... found in an ashwood where half the trees have been recently felled.

[Bingo]

haha oops I think you can still see them both....

 

[campanula]

possibly deschampsia or a wood millet (milium effusum) and maybe tall fescue? Bit of a wild guess though.
The earlier pics looked like purple moor grass, molinia purpurea and a St.John's Wort.

 

[gentlegreen]

I don't think my purple one was a grass.
It has well-defined leaves.

 

[Bingo]

My grasses... the first one is Deschampsia cespitosa I reckon. And the 2nd - Wood Melick, Melica uniflora.

A sort of creeper growing up a shady trellice in our garden.

 

[gentlegreen]

Have there been any flowers or fruit ?

 

[Bingo]

looks like a flowering currant... they have the nicest smelling flowers in the world ever!

 

[gentlegreen]

Some of us are lucky that way - I've never understood the reports of those who claim otherwise .

We have one in the garden and although the bees love the flowers I always think they smell like cat piss.

 

[gentlegreen]

I suppose my impression of the flowers is always superseded by my deliberately handling the foliage.

I left around the time it might have been flowering or fruiting I guess.

I'll give it a smell test next year. If they invent smellable uploads by then, I'll give you all a sniff

 

[gentlegreen]

I must make a note to sniff the ones in the park if they're still there - and I have yet to experience Kalidarkone's sorbus sensation

Looks a bit like a purple Salvia except for the leaves which would be aromatic and can be made into tea..

Definitely has the look of that plant family - I'll have to try to take another look in the spring.

What the fungk is this thing? The leaves are fairly fragile, and reminds me a bit of wood sorrel... you know, those green, three-leaved edible things you find on the forest floor at certain spots... could it belong to the same plant family? Or is it something else... love the colour!

I think it's an Oxalis but can't be sure.

ETA: which I've just discovered is what Wood Sorrel is!

ETA 2: You learn something new every day. ☺

- Aha! Sounds like we might be on the right track, then?

 

[gentlegreen]

A google suggests a cultivar of oxalis triangularis

- Splendid! Thank you... I quite fancy getting one of those now, but with my lack of green fingers I'd probably kill the poor thing off in just a few weeks! Succulents for me, then... ((( long-suffering houseplants... )))

Anyone know what this is? Grows wild at the bottom of hedgerows round here. Lovely pinky red flower and quite a pungent smell. Mrs Soul and the little souls all love it.
