Wow you are one knowledgable gardener Nutcutlet...Thankyou
I have a whole garden which I would like to identify all the plants/shrubs etc...The garden here is well established but I have a new garden just starting next door and I would like to propagate as much as possible from this garden to save monies...
Do you think I can take cuttings from either of these two above...???
Its an incredible forum Nutcutlet...I've only been here a couple of weeks and learning every day.
You say seeds are your thing...I am amazed at some Lupin seeds I started last week which I took from a plant in the garden ( I don't think the plant was looking when I stole them...!!!)...I soaked them overnight Wednesday, sowed they on Thursday and they had germinated by Saturday...surely that is not normal...???
All I have to do is try and keep them alive now....Highly unlikely but I will try...
Verdun...Now you and Nutcutlet are bl**dy showing orf...I was born a gypsy so I never went to school to learn me 3 r's never mind bl**dy latin plant names...I canny keep up with you all.I reckon you all are speakin' a different bl**dy language to me ...oh and Verdun just for the record All my friends need a label...
Cheers

I'd say the first is a pieris, those who garden on acid soil will tell you if I'm wrong.
The second a variegated abelia

Abelia yes, but I'd get your instructions from someone else. Seeds are my thing. My cuttings success rate is not good
pieris, no idea
Anything you want IDd just put it on here. Someone will know it

Fresh seed can germinate very quickly Carmic.
Confetti is it Verdun? I'd like one with really dark green leaves but all the ones I see are yellow/gold green. Is there a good dark green one?

I knew the first was a Pieris and thought the second was one
I have one that looks similar.
I'll take a photo when I get the canoe out. Just wait, bet I've got an Abelia pretending to be a Pieris
