Saddest thing is that there is no treatment for the amateur. Professionals heat up the bulbs to and exact temeperature for an exact length of time...
Looks more like a Hollyhock!
Funny how some plants do well in one area and yet fail utterly in others. We have tried to establish this 3 or 4 times now and it has not survived.
I presume you mean Colchicum? Then in that case you may wait as long as you need to before planting them. We have often bought them from Garden...
Oh dear, very sorry EJ amd family.
Not E. pandanifolium then. The flower heads on that are more widely spaced out and are definitely red. Still go for some form of Eryngium though.
Have a look at E. eburneum. E pandanifolium has smaller reddish flowers and E. agavifolium has blackish flowers.
Is it one of the big Eryngiums, like E pandanifolium.
Don't think it is Ceratostigma plumbaginoides though. There is one called C. willmottianum, but not sure what that looks like. Oh to be able to...
Nice thing about all the H. paniculata and there are a few, is that they flower on new wood so unlike the H. macrophylla they do not lose their...

The flowers are not much to look at, but the seed pods and berries are spectacular
If you Google Images of Papaver somniferum you will be astonished at the varieties available. They, like P. rhoeas are primary colonisers and the...
Looks like Veronica spicata to me. Speedwell to me is a creeping blue and white lawn thug!
Looks like a Mimosa of some sort.
Cannot see the pics, but there is a Nettle leafed Campanula as well as Nepeta forms (Cat mint or Cat nip).
Not really seeds, they are actually called bulbils. Collect them when they begin to fall off and sow in deep pots in standard compost and leave...
Also called Squash. We grow various types, sadly here they need to be in a big polytunnel to be really successful, but in warmer places they are...
Tiger lilies are NOT edible and NOT related to Hemerocallis. There are some species of true lilies which have edible bulbs though. I would like...
Not sure, but as a starting point, many Salvias (Sage) have pungent sticky leaves.
