  • New Garden - Can anyone help with identification?

    Forum post by sparky on 01 Jul 2012

    Hello I have recently moved into a new house, and inherited a lovely garden. I have no previous gardening knowledge or experience, so a forum like this is a Godsend! I recently received some really helpful advice about some poppies growing in my garden, but I am now looking for help identifying the remaining trees, plants and flowers. There are a LOT! I have posted all of the plants and numbered them, to make replying with any identification easier. As i said earlier, I have no gardening experience Read more..

    Thank you so much for both of your help. I have sheared the seed pods. I cut around 1-2cm above the set of leaves closest to the seed pod. Is this correct? I had no idea that they would reflower this year. Great news! Regarding the foliage at the bottom. Can i cut this away, or trim it to make it a little neater? Or would this damage the plant? Lastly... the azalea bush in the first picture - should i deadhead it? I know it won't reflower, but would this be the time to shape it for next spring Read more..

    Hi all. First time poster. I have recently moved into my first home, and inherited a lovely garden. Having never had to look after a garden myself, I am at a loss. I have two different poppy bushes I was hoping someone may be able to identify. I think they are both the same type of poppy - simply a different colour. I think they may be oriental poppies. There is a bush to the right hand side of this first picture. Any ideas what it is? Been blooming for a while now. Looks like its starting to die Read more..
