A Day of Surprises....

Lovely blog Bl :-)

Your parcel has so many gorgeous things in it, lucky you, enjoy :-))
Are you planting the rest tomorrow ?

The second from last picture looks a bit like young Scabiosa leaves - i'm NO expert on identifying plants though, so wait until others reply on that !!!

Moussaka sounds great !! lol As for the ones whose names have disappeared.... stick 'em in and see what happens !! lol Nothing like a wonderful surprise ! :~)))

I'm forever having the same problem - the tags are blank or have been blown away - I find them in very odd places!
Moussaka sounds lovely on a cold day like this!

The second 'blank label' is Sedum spathulifolium Cape Blanco, BL.

Well done Bulbaholic...

Wow...some wonderful plants there !

I'm not always good at identifying..

but the second photo down looks to me like
.... "very handsome man"..

anyone else agree with my ID on that one ? Lol.

;~))) TT !

:o) Sue.. !

You asked !! LOL ;~))

You ordered some nice plants. I like crocuses aswell. I planted a lot this year.

Yes, Trachelospermum jasminoides... wonderful :o)

Whaaattt ??? Are they those little yellow, purple and white things that come up in Spring ??? LOL ;~)))

Could the first blank label be a Phlox?

love the sound of your climbers busylizzy, and free bulbs to, im still trying to get my son to help me clear the ground so we can get stumps out , next weekend he says lol i love moussaka yummy :o))

The third unidentified plants look like small shasta daisy to me - I've forgotten the latin, used to be Chrysanthemum something or other, but I think now reclassified to I can't remember what. Useful, aren't I, lol
Looked it up, Leucanthemum

Wow! Went off for dinner, come back and there are 14 comments on this!
Louis1 - Weather permitting I will be planting the rest tomorrow - the Jasmine and Clematis are for the new arch.
Sue - Most of my garden is planted like that!
Clematisa - At least I can reuse the labels - we all like recycling! lol
Bulbaholic and Bamboo - I am going to look in my books now that you've given me names and then I'm going to look in my desk for a waterproof pen!
Hywel and TT - I'm hoping to put the Trachelospermum into a large container near the back door, that way I will (hopefully) have the scent next to my kitchen window.
Sanbaz - I'm hoping they all do well, I cant wait for the arch to be covered in colour and scent - tell him you'll cook him a moussaka and maybe he'll do it sooner! lol
TT re the second photo - don't know what the latin name is but its "hardy, likes to be well fed and takes up quite a bit of space" LOL :0)))))))

Sounds a bit like me !! lol Enjoy Busy !! :~)))

I was going to say, permanent marker, that's the only thing of use for those plastic sticks, Busylizzy. And I'm not certain they are Leucanthemum, they just look like they could be at the moment.

Oh Sue Lol !
Busylizzie...great collection and good to see they threw in free bulbs ! We like free ! Lol

i think they are leucanthemum too bamboo. they self seed all over my garden.

Self seed is good! I like self seeding!

Take it from me, if you plant those three out that you've already got, you'll be digging up the clumps and splitting them in less than 3 years, wondering why you've got so many all over the place...

Not tooooo much, though....it depends on exactly WHAT is self seeding, and where! LOL.

Thats true Spritzhenry, Ive got "Nigella Love in a Mist" all over the place - and I didn't plant it there!

Lovely all those plants delivered i love them sort of parcels the postey man delivers.

You're right Clarice - they are among the best deliveries to get!

you look as though you have some lovely plants ,and glad K is just like the roses,Hardy and well fed.He deserves it after all that digging.lol.It will be lovely next summer.:o)) are you sure you live in this country?as it looks like
summer,re K's t- shirt.!!.

Just catching up now - re my comment on digging them up (shastas) I just meant that the clumps increase greatly in a season, so within a couple of years, it's possible to have an area that's now nothing but shasta daisies, rather than them seeding themselves.
and here's a thought, I've had as much delight in having all the christmas presents delivered (at no extra cost) via Amazon - fantastic, all the presents done, never even left the house, I'm a complete convert, lol

Bloomer - Im hoping that the roses come on and I have a show next year - believe it or not that was on Saturday in the morning - K was hot from working so hard...lol
Bamboo - I've ordered everything I can from Amazon - still have to do some shopping tho....I have so much room in the garden any plant that increases is welcome (as long as they aren't dandilions) lol

Fabulous Delivery! I also love these deliveries which according to 'him in doors' now need to be delivered by air as 'air drops' as they are often so large. P.S. He is also the 'man who digs'. ha, ha :-)

Bless them Loobee, where would we be without them eh?

Very true. Tho I guess our houses would be much less messy.

LOL - and we would be able to use the TV remote....

So true. :o)

But where would you ladies go for the training? Whoops, sorry.

Bulbaholic, you have a little fire in your belly.....I love it! I think you may be outnumbered on this site tho. LOL.

Aye, fortunately I learned to duck a long time ago.;-)

The first unknown looks a lot like thyme. Rub the leaves to see if they smell like it.

Bulbaholic - lol - if I need any training I know where to come!
Wylie - although it looks like it Its not thyme - still a mystery!

I think the first one is, as Bulbaholic suggested, a Phlox, or possibly one of the ground spreading Veronicas.

Bamboo - I think it is definitely a ground spreading plant I have a recollection of reading that when I got it - roll on spring so I can see what it does!
