Ok, just been given a load of mixed planted pots. It looks like the majority of plants are alpines. Does anyone know what any of the plants are in the pics?
Many thanks as always

Not much help, but would no.1 be a gerbera?If someone has lost their smile, give them one of yours. :

I don't think no1 is a gerbera....is it the same as this?
I can't remember what it's called but it has a tall flower spike, pink I think

I agree with Scarlet. I call it the tall pink thing by the pond. The flowers are quite delicate and its not that tall. A bit like elongated London Pride.Comment

Are the stems square? If so it might be a figwort.Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land

I would say same family but not the same plant. I feel I should know this plant and get the feeling that tallish spikes of little pink delicate seem right. There are a couple more pics just incase it helps.Originally posted by Scarlet View Post[ATTACH=CONFIG]53827[/ATTACH]I don't think no1 is a gerbera....is it the same as this?

Is the first one some kind of Bergenia?Comment

I thought the first one was Bugle, until you posted the other pictures.
I'm sure it's familiar, but my brain won't work.Last edited by Glutton4...; 28-02-2015, 06:05 PM.
