Winter plant piccies

happy chick · « **on:** January 04, 2009, 18:58 »

I was out in the garden today letting the chickens have their daily bit of freedom and couldn't resist taking some pics. I hope you don't mind me sharing these with you.

They're easy enough to identify especially as I know what a clever lot you are on here

but if anyone fancies having a go, feel free...

It is cool when you can walk out amongst the green and colourful stuff though huh ?

Number 2 is Winter Jasmine? We've some of that

Spot on Tam! It's lovely this time of year when there's not much else around, isn't it??

Any takers for the rest or are they just so obvious no-one wants to say?

I'll tell you mine if you tell me what plant is in your avatar, Yabba!!!

It looks the colour of a pink magnolia but I know it's not. :? Could keep me guessing for ages because I too am blonde. I just like to call it artificial stupidity in my case!

Heh, that's a picture of my beans growing up my version of a Munty frame

Cool; which variety of beans are they? lovely pink flowers

Yabba · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2009, 09:54 »

Ahhh, always the tough question ... I have no idea what variety they were, but they outshone the sweet peas they were planted next to

I can post a few bigger pictures if that'd help ?

that's typical; that's why we all like veggies so much!!! Bigger pics would be great - 'name that bean'

It might make it easier to identify if you could remember what the beans were like as well; and don't say yummy!!!

happy chick · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2009, 10:34 »

Ok, no more takers for the above pics....

Here we go then;

1. Viburnum tinus
2. Winter Jasmine - well done Tam

3. Hellebore Foetidus
4. Variegated Pittosporum (no flowers but I like the foliage!)

Yabba · « **Reply #14 on:** January 05, 2009, 10:49 »

Yay, I won

:roll:

Ok, the unknown beans .. clicking any of these should take you to the appropriate bigger picture
