    First one is a Hemerocallis, possibly Stella D'oro as it's readily available, and the second is a juniper/fir of some kind. How is it growing?
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thank you Fairygirl.
    About the lilies. The Stella D'oro seems to have petals that curl back. Mine don't seem to but your suggestion led me to 'Hyperion'?  mine are only approx 70cm tall though and have been every year for the past 6 years :)
    About the fir. Sorry but I'm not quite sure about how to answer about how it is growing..... it seems healthy, grows very slowly- hardly any change in 6 years, and nevers has berries or any change in appearance. It is approximately 40 cm high and 80cm across. Is that the kind of info you wanted please. Thank you.

    Conifers from pics I find hard.
    There are many that are sold to be dwarf forms.
    Yours reminds me of a slow growing dwarf conifer we used to grow.
    Juniperus squamata Blue Star.

    I used to have that one too @Silver surfer. It was readily available back then. Blue Carpet was another popular one.
    It was a case of finding out the habit of the conifer. @alias123. It was just difficult without seeing the entire plant. As Silver surfer says though - conifers/firs are hard to ID as far as variety is concerned - thousands of them. 
    There are lots of day lilies- I only suggested that one as it's everywhere in gardens. The care for them all is much the same too.  :)

    Hemerocallis.....agree not Hemerocallis Stella d'or.
    It is short, leaves are fine, petals fat rounded  not thin .....flowers are large open, wide,

    In our old garden where we had space used to grow many day lilies.
    But try as I might we never succeeded in growing  H.Stella d' or. 
    Very annoying.

    Maybe the other one lilioasphodelus. It's common too. 
    Is it scented @alias123?

    I also grow many Daylilies, but Stella never flowered for me, although she grew well enough. very strange!

    My thoughts too...shape of petals look right....but there are now so many, id gets hard.

    Quote RHS.....
    "H. lilioasphodelus is a spreading rhizomatous perennial, to 80cm in height, with narrow leaves and fragrant, lily-shaped lemon yellow flowers 8-9cm in width"

    Rather depends on height.
    I always think of this one as dainty, an early in the season one to flower...before the huge fat flowered ones.

    It is all very well to say narrow leaves...but unless you have others to compare with that is not easy.

    Hi,

    Could you please let me know what plant is this? 
  • Silver surferSilver surfer Posts: 4,215
    Welcome to the forums.
    Next time may I suggest you start a fresh thread for your queries.
    It looks like Prostranthera cuneata...australian mint bush.
    Try crushing a leaf..... is it very scented...of mint?
