Close up photos of two plants that are exactly the same
( name unknown). One is ok, but the other appears to be dead for some reason??

Sure is! Were you asking if its dead or why it died?

Hi stera, probly both. Lol ?

Stera: Also wondered if it may come back to life?
I'm guessing not though. ?

Doesn't look as if it is going to revive to me, did the two plants get differing amounts of light or water?

Hi moon grow. No they are either side of the bird table, so both the same really. I don't know why but I seem to be having a few plants die on me lately.
My tulip bulbs in the borders have come up and opened though. ( the ones that were originally just sitting on the membrain under my gravel that I replanted into the soil ) Well most of them have, and the rest look like they are well on their way to doing so. ?

Glad too hear your tulips are OK at any rate -that was a narrow escape they had!

There appear to be a few little leaves left on your (box?) plant so its not quite dead yet. Have you had it out of the pots to have a look at the roots?

Are the other plants that died in pots or in the ground and if in the ground are they near each other? Are they recently planted or well established?

Not possible to tell what it might be, pic's too fuzzy I'm afraid. Possibly the one died because it went short of water, or it's more exposed/gets less sun in winter than the other one, but can't say for sure - knowing what plants they were might have meant a clearer answer. Did they flower at all and if so, what were they like?

No flowers at all bamboo.

Yes stera, thank goodness for small miracles on the bulb department, least that's what I say! Lol
I know the unknown dead plant is definitely not a box. Do you think I should have a look at the roots then as I haven't done that yet?
And the other plants that have died are lavender standards, they are not near to the other unknown plants, but again they are in pots. They have been established about a year and the other two unknown Ones about two years.

Cause of death is not necessarily the same for all your plants - the lavenders for sure have suffered from being placed somewhere that does not fit their growing requirements. Without knowing what these two are/were, its difficult to say what's happened with the dead one.

Just realised the other question about lavender standards was yours, so replies are on there.

Ockie doke stera. Thank you. ?

Are there cats in your area? if so, they may have sprayed that particular plant which could have killed it off. Cats love doing that and will go back time and again to the same place.

Hi Arbuthnot, there definitely are cats in the area.... and two of them live with me. Lol

15 Mar, 2017

 

Dogs are more likely to spray than cats in my experience.

Hi moon_grow..... I got one of those as well! Lol

15 Mar, 2017

 

lol so it is possible that one of the cats or the dog has sprayed...

15 Mar, 2017

 

Maybe moon grow but unsure on that though as have never seen it happen before, but I suppose it's a possibility. All I know for sure is the plant definetly looks dead! ?

15 Mar, 2017

 

I don't reckon its a cat, unless you've got a visiting stray tom - even then, it'd be the pot he sprayed up against, unless he's into acrobatics and climbed up, then sprayed downwards (which they don't, its horizontal when they do it), and you'd have smelt it anyway.

15 Mar, 2017

 

Ahahahaha, that's very funny bamboo. You made me laugh!?
Your probly quite right too. ?

15 Mar, 2017

 

No I don't think it is likely tbh there is another problem :)

15 Mar, 2017

 

I agree mg.
Think I definetly need to replace it anyhow, trouble is I don't know what the plant actually is. Lol. ?

15 Mar, 2017

 

lol!
