A-Z Challenge - Flowers

Re: A-Z Challenge - Flowers

No, but orchids are easy, I'd post one but was hoping to fill the 'P' space

We have three orchid plants but none are in flower - however I think I have one or two in the archive - will have a dig!

Re: A-Z Challenge - Flowers

Does this produce the seeds of the same name?

ian

I think it's a different variety: nigella damascena (love in a mist) and nigella sativa (also known as Roman cumin) but I'm not really sure!

And as for O, has anyone got any Osteospermum Whirlygig Type | Ophiopogon Black Grass | Oenothera - the Evening Primrose?

Re: A-Z Challenge - Flowers

N for Nigella (love in a mist). A somewhat sad and sorry specimen, this was taken in the Secret Garden of Biringham's Central Library on Wednesday when I was at a mee of a Flickr group. It's the second year we've all met up in Birmingham to cover the Christmas market there.

A very hardy perennial from my back garden!

It's only been a day Caz. Needs a bit longer for us dozy lot to respond.

K for knapweed

Re: A-Z Challenge - Flowers

Looks like we might be stuck on K - a list of plants beginning with K can be found here: http://www.plant-and-flower-guide.co...flowers-k.html

I don't have any of these, so we may need to skip to L?

Re: A-Z Challenge - Flowers

I do have jasmine (don't know about nudiflorum, although I do have other "art nudes, but they're not floral)

So I'll go with J for Jacaranda - always one of my favourite trees, absolutely love the richness of colour and the scent. I've singularly failed to grow one in England, but had several in my garden in Malawi when I lived there.

Re: A-Z Challenge - Flowers

Anyone got a Juniper?

Ian

No, got a jasmin nudiflorum but I think nudes aren't allowed on this forum

Anyway I posted I so can't do J as well.
