Re: I Don’t Suppose Anyone Knows What This Plant Is?

Is that your garden Art? It looks amazing.

By the way I think I am going to dream about your plant. It looks so familiar but.... maybe I am thinking of my oleanders but it's clearly not an oleander. I hope you get to the bottom of this and if you do find that it's mary jane then please do set up some ebay outlet so we can all appreciate it!

I wonder if the plants that died got their roots down into something they didn’t like. Another thought is they didn’t get enough moisture because of the trees, unlikely I would think.

Does it look anything like this plant, Art?

Mags, The bud on my plant is only small and not a stem with lots of buds on it. So l don’t think it’s the same.

Thank You for looking and posting it though.

Re: I Don’t Suppose Anyone Knows What This Plant Is?

Art, thanks for the info.

I have been pondering over the leaves of your plant, which look like they are in sets of five?

The only other thing I can think of is a baby Horse Chesnut tree. These have the 5 leaves, although that still doesn't look quite right.
The pointed looking bud still looks like the Rhode family to me.
See what you think anyway:






P.S. Lovely garden by the way.

Re: I Don’t Suppose Anyone Knows What This Plant Is?

It might be worth trying the Flora Incognita phone app. A friend showed me it last night and it works quite well. You open the app, take a pic of the plant and it goes through a database of 4,500+ plants and shrubs.

I tried it at my volunteer work place where I was sorting out a greenhouse and a small patch of garden. There were 5 or 6 grey plants growing (no flowers but there was a sort of bud unfurling) and I could tell they weren't weeds but no-one knew what they were. The app recognised them as poppies.

That crossed my mind too Mups.

It's a annoying because I feel as though I know it really well.

Sorry Juna, l must have overlooked your reply. I think the trees took all the goodness out of the ground.
