Hoping someone knows what i'm talking about!!
« on: June 13, 2010, 14:37 »
Hi all, i am trying to find out the name of a plant. It's a bit like london pride to look at but it's much deeper pink (sorry it's vauge). My mum always had it in her garden but only knows it as captains feather but i'm not sure if that is right, she has moved now so i can't nick a clump. I have tried to google but to no avail...i'm still non the wiser.

I have seen it a fair few gardens, I could knock the door and ask but i dont like too. I thought i'd see if any of you knew what i meant first  :D

Thanks for reading  :)

Possibly Heuchera (coral flower)?

Faint heart never won fair maiden...pluck up the courage to knock on a door, maybe with a pot of home done pickles as trade.

When I lived in Sussex, me and the old labby used to have a midnight walk........amazing what cuttings fall off when you go past others gardens, lolololol ;)
