1. Looks like Gladiolus cardinalis. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gl...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1271&bih=533 2. The purple flower looks like a Geranium sp or one of the many cultivars. Sorry I do not recognise the red berries. 3. Looks like Polygonum capitatum. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=po...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1271&bih=533
2. No wonder I didn't recognise it!!! How very stupid of me. Must have been half asleep this morning. Red berries they are not! Thanks Tyrlch and Ron for correction.
Will the Gladiolus cardinalis grow here (PNW)? I don't ever remember seeing it in local gardens.......barb
Barbara, I took all of these pics and many more in a friend's garden in Big Sur, right on the coast. So, often foggy and cold, but maybe not as much as where you live.
