  Reply | Contact I agree with you, Silver surfer. If someone wants a lot of plant IDs then it helps to group the pictures together and only ask for a few at a time. After all, it's a human community who is being asked, not an electronic database. Saying that, there are many people here who are willing to help and who will spend their time finding answers, for no other reason than they like to help.

Quote from your web site.....   "Remote support is charged at the standard hourly rate and, as with all Gardening by Design work, the time and deliverables (documents, plans etc. that I will send to you) are agreed up front."   You are prepared to help Chris id the pics for a standard hourly fee.? On the RHS id forums we also do that FOC!

  Reply | Contact All Please be aware that I did not wish to upset anyone in posting all my pictures online at the same time. I simply set the site up in order to assist myself. I left the link because I felt it would be more efficient than posting individual shots. If people don't wish to visit the site and comment that is fine by me. I am not 'expecting' anyone to help, but I am obviously grateful if anyone can, as has already been the case. I recognise that everyone here is donating of their time freely and for the 'good of the community' and I appreciate that. I am simply appealing to those who can and are able to help me out. I am already delighted with the way that so many have already been able to identify individual plants and it is impressive that multiple shots of the plants have been spotted, that gives me confidence that you all know what you are doing and I assure you there was no intent to make things difficult by doing s, quite the opposite I felt it might help. For those who have helped, again thank you. Chris

Again, thank you all. Chris

  Reply | Contact 46.   and 18.  I believe that with the red twigs it is a Cornus. It looks like Cornus alba Elegantissima or Cornus alba Variegata. Very difficult to say which. Common name Dogwood. It should have white flowers and white berries.   http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.esveld.nl/plantdias/67/67018.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.esveld.nl/htmldia/c/coaele.htm&usg=__60C_Kc-mxCjMPSk-MElvajxdmFw=&h=600&w=800&sz=98&hl=en&start=25&um=1&tbnid=tcpvlOP2eKNACM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcornus%2Balba%2Belegantissima%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dp,com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7SUNA_en-GB%26sa%3DN%26start%3D20%26um%3D1

  Silver surfer Location: South Wales. U.K. Joined on: 09 Jun 2008 Posts: 393	Reply | Contact 19. Is the purple leaf form of Cotinus coggygria,  so may possibly be Cotinus coggygria Royal purple. As Clare stated common name Smoke bush.   http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rls=p%2Ccom.microsoft%3Aen-gb%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SUNA_en-GB&um=1&sa=1&q=cotinus+coggygria+royal+purple&btnG=Search+images&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&start=0

  Reply | Contact May as well try and sort out  38. 39. and 40.  I think they are all the same.  Nigel id it as Anemone. However, Anemone hybrida Whirlwind is a semi double white flower. Yours is a simple flower so it may be Anemone x hybrida Honorine Jobert.   http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rls=p,com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SUNA_en-GB&q=anemone%20hybrida%20honorine%20jobert&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi This is pics of Whirlwind.   http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rls=p,com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SUNA_en-GB&q=anemone%20hybrida%20whirlwind&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
