A flower and some other plant, dont have a clue what it is so any ideas are welcome. thanks in advance!
The first one looks like it belongs to a Hardy Geranium. I see some hardy geranium leaves. And the flower looks similar to what I have. I guess the leaves are very small, so the flowers are probably tiny also. And the leaves are lancelike. The second is a sedum, not sure on the name right now.
Flowers of the first are similar to a hardy geranium but the only geranium-like leaves in the photo likely belong to a nearby weed, and I don't see geranium seed heads nor are those linear stems right. The second is likely a sedum.
Another request for plant identification. This plant was sold to me as "Rosemary"; however, it doesn't meet any criteria for other Rosemary plants I've seen. And it doesn't smell like Rosemary. It's about 4 years old and is mounded. It's about 2.5 to 3 feet tall and round. It's evergreen (zone 8) and roots wherever the fronds touch the ground. It has very small, insignificant yellow flowers about mid-spring.
Thanks, but I don't think so. My plant is much more compact and rounded than the Helchrysum Italicum. Plus the blooms are so insignificant you hardly see them unless you're very close. Certainly not as obvious as the blooms on the Helchrysum Italicum. I'll try to get a better photo of it - and a close up of the fronds.
I have a Curry plant at home and have had it for 3 years. Mine is quite large and I haven't seen it flower like the one in Chris's link. Rub your fingers through the foliage and if it smells like curry.... I sometimes put it on my curries as a garnish Ed
I do not know anything about the third plant but I might know the first two plants which are shown on the top of this thread. The plant on the left is certainly from the pink family (Caryophyllaceae) and not from the purslane family. Gypsophila muralis looks rather similar to the picture but as it is not in the list of British vascular plants according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_vascular_plants_of_Britain_and_Ireland_3) and because the plant looks like it is growing in dense, procumbent groups of plants I suggest that this might in fact be tunicflower (Petrorhagia saxifraga). The plant on the right is a stonecrop species. If it is a British wildflower then it is probably tasteless stonecrop (Sedum sexangulare).
