My better half, The Mighty V ( *bows* ), has a pretty nice garden, she grows all sorts of stuff that I don't know the name of .... and several that she doesn't know the name of either

... anyway, over the last couple of days we've taken a few pics of it and I thought you'd like to see them


.... not entirely true, it's a bit like posting pictures of your harvest, you just wanna show the world

Without further ado, allow me to introduce The Mighty V


and now on with her garden :


This'd be one of the ones that she doesn't know the name of, we just call it butterfly bush because it often has more butterflies than petals


This flowers is fantastic, it's so tiny!






Still waiting for the sunflowers to flower


This is another unknown one, we currently call it "yellow thing" :roll:








Any help with the unknown ones would be greatly appreciated

It looks amazing!

The 'butterfly bush' is a buddleia. The common name is butterfly bush, don't know if you know that are or just being descriptive

Tad of both, The Mighty V called it a butterfly bush and then I remembered seeing it last year covered in butterflies ... was a brilliant sight

She's still gonna kick herself for forgetting it was a buddleia

Stunning piccies, remind me which camera you use?

[gillie]

The 'yellow thing' is a gaillardia.

Which other ones do you need naming?

Cheers,

It's a Panasonic DMC-TZ5 ... seems to be reasonably blonde proof and does take some great pics

Excellent thanks I think that's the last of the ones that we didn't know the name of.

Picture 6 is a hebe

Picture 7 is monbresha(sp?) (thats all I know it as??) :blink:

[Trillium]

Counting SWMBO as #1, pic 5 is a honeysuckle, #7 is a crocosmia (var. Lucifer), #10 and probably #11 are flowering alliums, #13 is a fuschia, #18 might be black eyed susan but I can't see the leaves, and last is dill.

[Yabba]

SWMBO got honeysuckle, thought she had crocosmia ( although I miss-spelt it on my galleries ), but was thrown into doubt by a duck and said "ohhh now I'm not so sure" ... 11 ... 11 ... urm ... *scrolls up* ... ohhh yeah, 10 is a HUGE allium ... makes some of our dahlias look tiny! ... she (wmbo *bows*) called 11 "drumsticks"? look to much like chive flowers to not be an allium.... spot on with "black eyed susan" .... taken me 6 months to remember the word rudbecia(sp) and you know 2 that look similar but with different leaves! ... I thought the last one was fennel though ... sure I planted fennel there ... hmmm ...

*edit to add*
Matilda, hebe is spot on, they have some amazing flowers, so tiny but so complex, gotta love nature poking you in the eye with "been there , done that, bring on your next micro/tele scope"

[Trillium]

I believe fennel is the same family so the tops would look very similar. And there is a drumstick variety of allium, which you obviously have. Rudbeckia is the spelling you want 

[gillie]

"10 is a HUGE allium "

Allium christophii

I have to agree. The pictures of the plants are a delight to behold.

[Yabba]

Damn, I'm gonna have to bookmark this thread or I'll never remember all the names

I just push a button and hope I'm pointing it in the right direction
