    Looked at some Yucca on the net but couldn't really see the exact one here. i just want to know if i killed it, i chopped the dead woody stalk thing off and cut loads of dead leaves, like to know exactly how to care for it or if it's salvageable

    Could be one that caught me out before..
    Beshornernia yuccoides
    And it did look like this year's flowering stem that you cut off!

    that's not a reason on it's own to dig up a plant, to be fair. i wouldn't mind some for my garden, but i'm not that keen on the idea of digging it up in sites i do see it in.
    It's growing up against my back wall and I'm planning on putting in some shrubs this year

    Hi everyone. I was at the plant fair yesterday in Glin castle and came across this tree. The flowers are like they were drawn using a Spirograph or something, such an even pattern. Any idea what it is?

    Gazanias, perhaps?

    That looks very like it.
    that photo was last year when it bloomed, it was bone dry when i cut it.

    Can you tell if i murdered it?
    Note the new growth at the bottom but will the main plant grow another stem?

    No, she's grand, don't worry - they're as tough as old boots. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 82 ✭✭limerickpat


    Thanks guys on the camellia

    Can someone tell me what this tree is?
    It has popped up in a number of places in my garden. It would seem like an odd type of tree for previous owner to plant. Pretty sure it is found growing wild along roads.

    Have you pyracantha growing nearby?
    Roots close to the surface can send up suckers.

    Anyone know what the two plants in the attached are? I sowed them a couple of weeks ago and have lost the little packets.

    I think they are carrots and onions?

    Thanks!


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 76,179 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    It's a bit early, but tomatoes (at the front) and courgettes/ pumpkins/ squash (at the back*)?

    Edit: *Could be cucumbers, too.

    Not carrots or onions. The ones with the hairy stems and skinny leaves are tomatoes. The others are courgette or cucumber.

    Anyone have any advice of how to get moss out of your grass? My garden seems to be half and half at the moment!

    1) Possibly dandelion
    2) I think it's Willowherb
    3) Not sure


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 76,179 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    1. Not dandelion, but it produces smaller yellow flowers that are quite similar looking. Can't remember the name, though.
    2. Willowherb
    3. Plantago


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 47,920 CMod ✭✭✭✭magicbastarder


    1 could be cat's ear?

    Is Plantago Narrow leaf plantain by another name?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 76,179 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Plantain, yes, sorry.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,952 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    Thanks for the answers so far, these look correct. Rosebay Willowherb to be exact?

    Someone has suggested to me number 1 is narrowleaf hawkweed?
