Your help would be appreciated. The first two flowers where located in a Japanese Garden. If I am in the wrong forum, please send me to the correct one. Thanks, James
1. Looks like Hypericum sp. Possibly H. calycinum. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgu...-gb:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SUNA_en-GB&tbs=isch:1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypericum_calycinum 2. Looks like a Magnolia sp. Possibly M. grandiflorum. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgu...b:IE-ContextMenu&rlz=1I7SUNA_en-GB&tbs=isch:1 3. Looks like a Viola x wittrockiana. Common name pansy. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgu...-gb:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SUNA_en-GB&tbs=isch:1
1. Hypericum sp. Possibly H. calycinum, common name St. Johnswort 2. I agree with Silver surfer. 3. And I also agree with the violet, but remember this - "Pansy's have faces, but Violets do not. ;))) barb
#1 is certainly a Hypericum, but doesn't look quite right for Hypericum calycinum; compare here: http://ip30.eti.uva.nl/BIS/flora.php?selected=beschrijving&menuentry=soorten&id=2108 - more likely one of the garden hybrid cultivars.
