    That's lovely. Would you mind telling me the name of the plant in the bottom left corner with the small flowers?
    Thanks,
    Loire.

    Stag's Horn or Sumac.

    To be honest it can be very invasive and put suckers up throughout a lawn.

    It's actually the green flower/plant in the bottom right hand corner with the small pink flowers I was asking about. I Googled the Sumac and think that's the tree in the middle?

    Thanks,

    That's Japanese Anemone, Loire. Also invasive as hell by root spread or even by seed. It'll keep you fit, pulling out. I love both it and the Stag's Horn Sumach but boy do they challenge you to keep them in check.

    Thanks! I actually bought some Anemone bulbs in Aldi yesterday too!

    Anemone bulbs are not the same as Japanese anemone. "Normal" anemones are not as invasive, tough or thuggish as their Japanese namesakes :) but the Japanese are great if you have a difficult or inaccessible area that wont grow much else. Plant a few and leave them to their devices, but as Dubl07 says if they get loose in a mixed bed etc you'll be pulling them forever!

    I recently installed a small pond (Blagdon Dragonfly 250 lt.) in one corner of my garden. Here's how it turned out:

    hi,

    does that pond come with a pump and filter? do you have fish in it..if so what type?


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,739 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    First post in this thread, looks like the same tree from 2 different seasons.

    I assume it's down to shelter being provided to the one of the left?

    Apologies for the late reply - I just saw it now!
    No, I just bought the pre-formed pond on its own (I think it cost about E 100). You'll need to purchase a pump separately. I don't have fish in it, just oxygenating plants, marginals and dwarf Water Lilies.

    does it stink if you don't change the water?

    All my azaleas, camellias and a beautiful magnolia gone.

    2mtr high wall came down like a pack of cards and a 40ft high Ash tree from next door arrived shortly afterwards. Also lost my pergola on the other side of the garden with a jasmine and clematis attached.

    30 years growing ruined. Still, nobody was hurt thankfully.

    Can I ask what you’ve planted there - looks lovely 😀

    Hey, just 3 types of regular moss I gathered. Because they don't have roots they don't need soil mounted below. So they survive on a mesh frame nicely.

    you seem to be linking from another forum which does not allow image linking - the photo is not showing for me.
    it's the same with your two posts from a month ago.

    Finished my little wall garden.
    Added a LED strip and solar pannels to run them for something a little nicer to look out our window into other than a bland brick wall

    That's a great idea. I have a back wall that could do with livening up. I would never of thought of something like that!

    Well done, that's very cool.

    Onions coming along nicely!

    Painted the sleepers last week I think. 2 coats. Did a good bit of weeding last week, bought 6 or so lupin's. Sheds painted, 2 coats. Lawns done. And spread 23 bags of bark that I got in Aldi. There's a little patch bare, but I have to do a job down there on the ivy.
