VERY techie! :-))

 

Nope - Oxalis deppei 'Iron Cross' - it has coral coloured flowers, Ian, and it's hardy in my garden - it pops up VERY late each year, so don't think it's gone...

Oxails triangularis has dark red almost black leaves, and pale pink flowers. I have them as house-plants, as they can be a bit temperamental in the garden.

That's your education for the month! LOL.

 

Yes - spot on, Sandra - they're Gaillardias... probably G. 'Kobold'.

 

I might send you a different Penstemon in the spring, Ian, if you'd like one - I've got lots of plants from cuttings!

That little plant should be OK now, Ian! :-))

 

And me! Also - will it flower when it's meant to, or have a year off?

 

The gold one is even brighter, Tt!! :-)

On photo - Yellow primrose

 

It's about a foot tall, Sbg. I think you worked it out already from the photo with the Ophiopogon, though, didn't you??? :-))

 

Just imagine the 'newness' of them - they wouldn't look half as good! :-)

I've posted some seeds on the seed exchange if you want to grow some - not Rozanne, sadly - she doesn't produce seeds. :-((

 

AND it's very poisonous - all parts of the plant! You've heard of 'Ricin'???

Just a note of caution!

On question - Red Pom Pom Flowers!

 

Thanks - I love it - So I do hope it makes itself at home. :-)

On photo - Cornus canadensis

 

YES!! :-)))))))))))

 

Thanks - it has and is giving me great pleasure! You're right, Sue...only leaf raking is 'work' after I've been doing a lot of it! lol.

 

It had just better behave itself! ONE strike - and it's OUT!!! lol.

 

Its skirts are too full to be 'Alice', Sbg. 'Swingtime' is the name that pops into my head - but do ask Hywel! He'll tell you.....I am probably wrong. :-((

I will, but I probably won't - Hywel will, though!!!!

 

I shall call on my friend Sbg the 'expert' on this plant if I need help, then! LOL.

They haven't been difficult, have they - I hope??

 

There's space behind it and to the right for taller plants. I'm still 'planning' for those spaces!

On photo - Carex and friends!
