    I planted one of those wildflower mixes and while I have been able to identify most as they have flowered I have drawn a blank with these, any help greatly appreciated.

    1 Looks a bit like toadflax but that's as far as I got

    I think they are (open to correction!)

    1 looks a bit like toadflax but would need to see leaves

    3 forget-me-not

    4 stocks - Matthiola

    5 cow parsley

    6 Nigella - love-in-a-mist

    Thanks for the help

    Here's a picture of the leaves from the possible toadflax

    6 is not Nigella as I have that growing elsewhere in my little patch

    I was a bit puzzled by the toadflax as I was thinking of this one http://www.wildflowersofireland.net/plant_detail.php?id_flower=287&wildflower=Toadflax,%20Ivy-leaved , I did not realise there were two entirely different plants called toadflax.

    That last one, what is the yellow bit, is it a flower or a seadhead or similar? The fringe of leaves looks very much like nigella.

    I'm not sure what that is going to develop into as it has been like that for almost a week. I think if it does develop into flowers they will be tiny.

    Thanks for your help.

    I don't think they're Irish wild flowers...

    Anyway.

    1 is Toadflax alright

    2 is a mystery

    3 I think is an Anchusa variety

    4 is Stock, maybe scrawny Virginia or Night Scented

    5 looks very like the flower on Coriander

    6 could be Dill in bud

    This is what 6 is looking like at the moment, whatever it is, it is very slow to develop

    Fennel, I think, or Dill, they are very similar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,095 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Someone figure out what that second one is, please? It looks rather like a dogwood seedling in the second pic - but the flowers are 5 petal and dogwood is 4, and anyway it would not be flowering that young. Its aggravating me now!
