What is this bush/tree/plant?

[dessiato]

I've not eaten the fruit, they look similar to apricots soso probab treat the same way.

Try some first as it seems not all cultivars produce sweet delicious fruits. They are supposedly best when orange in colour.

That's great. We'll wait till they're ripe then make some jam.

This thing suffered in the frosts last month, and it doesn't look like it's planning on coming back to life. I can't remember what it's called though. Does anyone recognise it? When it's alive it's more of a golden yellow colour.

 

[gentlegreen]

Euonymus perhaps ?

No, it's got quite fleshy leaves almost like a succulent, looks quite mediterranean.

Really hopeless at photo ID but thinking one of the bupleurums...or ballota pseudodictamnus. Not cistus or nepeta. Possibly some sort of salvia.

 

[teuchter]

ballota pseudodictamnus.

Yes! I think that's it. Thanks.

A bit of googling suggests it might yet come back to life, looks like I ought to cut it all right back and see if anything new sprouts from the stem.

Whassat?





It's made its home in a pretty shady spot among ferns if that helps

Arum - cuckoo pint - probably ...
For some reason I'm seeing it everywhere this year.

EDIT :-

Also "lords and Ladies"

I hadn't realised it was phallic ...

The Victorians tried to promulgate the name 'our Lord and our Lady' hoping to move away from the sexual connotations by claiming that the spathe represented the Virgin Mary using her cloak to shield the infant Jesus represented by the spadix.

Arum maculatum, cuckoopint - THE POISON GARDEN website

 

[gentlegreen]

On the other hand it might be a cultivated form ...

I thought the leaves on arum were fleshy shiny ones, I'm clearly wrong

That looks like a great site

We've been here for 10 years so unless we have stealth gardeners it's unlikely

And sometimes spotty ...

Can anyone ID this please?



Got quite a lot of it emerging about the place. Frankly all plants give me the fear now that I'm potentially liable for the nightmare of Japanese knotweed, although I'm pretty confident it's not that.

 

[gentlegreen]

looks like a small ash tree to me ... or it could be "mountain ash" - sorbus.

 

[mauvais]

Ta I wondered about ash based on some ID guides, but I've pretty much no idea.

 

[campanula]

Yep, must agree - ash - fraxinus excelsior- they are swinish for seeding about - almost as bad as sycamore and red maple.

I had to remove over 700 of the fuckers from a gravel path...by freaking hand.

 

[StoneRoad]

Yup. I agree on Ash. I've got quite a few in my wildwood that started life as free seedlings.

This spring I'm overrun with sycamore seedlings, there must be hundreds of the **** things sprouting.

 

[StoneRoad]

Anyone good with ID'ing fungus ?
There's a corker growing on a slab of rotten beech in my garden.


gdn - mystery fungus par StoneRoad2013, on ipernity

 

[gentlegreen]

I have no great expertise, but it may be this.

 

[StoneRoad]

Thanks gentlegreen it looks similar from the top. I'll turn the log over and snatch a look the underside.

Yes, the underside fits as well.
Some of the local wildlife have found it quite tasty.

 

[mauvais]

Another probably boring ID request please - what's this? After some hapless matching attempts I wondered about lythrum?

 

[Calamity1971]

This has sprouted up in my crocosmia?
Looks orchidy to me. Any ideas.

 

[gentlegreen]

Wow
Did that pot come pre-planted ?

Makes a change from hairy bittercress and oxalis.

It was pot bound in a trough. I separated it into 6 clumps. That one has been sat for a few weeks in that pot with no soil in it whilst I find somewhere to put it.
Got plenty of hairy bitter cress.

 

[fishfinger]

Anyone know what kind of tree this is?

Shore pine, Pinus contorta.

 

[smmudge]

What's this?

It is terrorising my lawn, popping up through the patio and down the side of the fence. It has very long black roots and creeps, creeps, creeps.....

 

[smmudge]

Ok I'm pretty sure it's "creeping cinquefoil"
