Alison This is a hellebore but am not sure which one. Those look like really good seed pods which means nearly all the flowers have been pollinated. If you try growing from seed, however, they may not necessarily come true but that's half the fun of these seeds! Can't help with the spiky leaved plant, although that couls also be a hellebore.

I believe this is Heuchera - coral bells. If the leaves are flat and this stalk grows to about 15 inches in height, then I think it looks nothing like a hollyhock which grows to 3-6 feet high!

I had always thought 'pansies' were those large flowered ones with 'faces' whereas I always consider the small flowered ones as violas, whether they have faces or not. Just a personal view. This one looks a 'specialised' pansy without the usual 'face'.

I had a broom for number 4. Maybe a Dogwood for number 5. Agree it is a Pieris fr 6. I thought Euphorbia for 8. Perhaps Leylandii for 11. Good luck!

Silver Surfer Thanks foryour quick reply, however, I think Haststa has longer individual stems. My plant looks exactly like a bonariensis but has wider leaves and smaller flowers. Maybe the picture doesn't give a good enough view of this?

Dear all I would appreciate some help identifying what I believe may be a rogue Verbena Bonariensis plant that I grew from seeds. In the pictures attached, the 'rogue' flowers are on the left and the leaves an dstems are shown in frontof the normal version. If you can help and let me know what the name of this plant is I would appreciate it. Many thanks Minnie77uk http://www.flickr.com/photos/minnie77uk/sets/72157632754573857/

I know pansy flowers are edible and are used by chefs as decoration but we have one of the next door ats that loves my pansies. No sooner have the buds begun to open than they all disappear. One day, she left the flower to fully open and then sat on the step eating the flower one petal at a time, loking really pleased with herself. Does anyone have a suggested cure for this as I would love t be able to plant and enjoy the flowers myself, maybe even for eating!

Thank you jon jon and silver surfer. I believe you are both right and think this is the one. We have aheavy clay soil whereas this plant is supposed to prefer calcerious. No accounting for taste! Thanks again Minnie77uk

Silver Surfer Sorry for the delay but I chickened out and destroyed the original plant, however, a smaller version was lurking and I have now managed to take photos of its flowers for you. I have added them to my flickr 'album' and hope that these 6 pictures may be able to help you to identify this strange hairy plant. http://www.flickr.com/photos/minnie77uk/7348292120/ I have compared it to the links you sent and I think the flowers are identical, so do I have a strange genetic modification

Silver Surfer Thank you for this. Plant has been dug up and put into a very small pot. If it survives the root damage, I may be able to create a bonsai out of it! I have an oak tree shrinking to a bonsai after about 3 years which I believe has grown from an American oak acorn brought back some years ago. The leaves are shrinking this year to slightly smaller than the English oak, so am hopeful I can get it down to a bonsai size within the next couple of years. Fingers crossed. Thanks Minnie77uk
