Can you help me identify these plants?
Comments (1)Joey, Picture 1 is Impatiens, a shade-loving annual Picture 2 is a variety of Syngonium...a low-light houseplant, pretty tough, many different varieties available. Roots easily from cuttings whenever it gets too leggy and has to be cut back. Picture 3...not sure. Looks like the leaves you are showing may not be fully formed. I'll leave this one for some other ivy expert. Bob...See MoreCan you please help me to identify the roses in these plantings?
Comments (21)Andreajp, these are lovely photos and a beautiful look to aspire to. It's a good idea to choose from the roses at the cemetery - pretty much an opportunity to find guaranteed winners for your garden. The photos really excited me because my front garden is finally getting mature enough that Souv de la Malmaison and Mme Lombard are looking like one bush because ML is reaching out wide. I don't mind (yet), because I've long been an admirer of the thicket look. I tried to plant 6' on center (but sometimes not) which pretty much guarantees that teas will be overlapping some, so plan accordingly and be patient with the blank spaces for a few years. Like Jeri said, fill in with annuals. One word of advise if you use Purple Coneflowers (which I recommend). They are thugs root-wise so don't plant them under or even near the canopy of the rose. Since my roses are fairly disease resistant, I don't worry about air circulation, but being able to get to the roses for maintenance is important. Give yourself room to get to each rose from the front and the back. Make an alley behind the roses if you're planting against a fence. Then squeezing in to reach the sides, if they touch at maturity, isn't too bad unless you have a bad back and can't reach awkwardly. There are definite consequences to planting too close. And remember in Zone 9 they will get big and probably even huge. If those photos were taken in the spring flush, those bushes will be a mess by the end of the season. Can't wait to hear which ones you choose. Sherry Here is a link that might be useful: If only sweat were irrigation......See MoreCan you help me to identify Lavender varieties
Comments (5)hi meyerlemon there are abought 39 types of lavenders.. im not an expert but we grow a bught 50 types of herbs and abought 6 types of them are lavenders. so my guess is pic # 3 looks like goodwin creek because half of the leaves are rigid and the other half are not..and it has a light soft collor. pic # 2 looks like grosso? only because of the flower and abought 1 inch down theres another flower. the only thing i dont like is grosso looks more compact. but you might just have one that is streched. pic # 1 looks like Spanish or french Lavender. i cant realy see the leaves from the pic ? are the leaves rigid or smooth ? is it real woody? so from just looking at the flower it looks like spanish. hope this helps......See MoreCan you help me identify this plant please?
Comments (32)Sorry, palms are definitely not my area :-( A wild guess would be Washingtonia filifera .... I would suggest you start a new post for each plant you need an id for. People often skip long posts because they don't know there are new plants appearing. It looks from a brief skim as if a whole thread is about the first plant asked about. But keep them coming. It's a slow time on the Forum. The succulent in the sand is Carpobrotus edulis. Invasive in Europe, even as far as Cornwall....See Morebossyvossy
