Another plant ID question. I've asked loads of local folk what this is and no one seems to know. It's a cutting I took from an evergreen. The parent bushes are growing to around 15 foot tall. They don't have any flowers
In my garden there are a handful of lilac shrubs (sering in Dutch) and they appear to be two species and one cultivar. The one in the first photo appears to be Syringa vulgaris, of which we have also a rather ugly mildew-susceptible double flower cultivar in a nice burgundy colour. Then we have Syringa meyeri, a smaller, rounded shrub with delightful little round leaves #plants#plantidentification
One lilac remained on my plot after the various ornamental moves in the winter. I think it might be S. microphylla 'Superba' #plants#plantidentification
Actually, there are 2 more, which are out of sight so I tend to forget them. One is a Syringa vulgaris with pink lilac flowers, which seems to flower more abundantly than the one I have at home. The other is the rootstock from the S. microphylla above, which suckers freely and I grew on out of curiosity, and which I actually like more than the cultivar that was grafted on it! I think it might be S. josikaea, the Hungarian likac. It flowers later in the spring #plants#plantidentification
My little garden with botanical aspirations hosts two species of flowering currant: Ribes sanguineum and R. aureum, which I just moved here from my plot. Both plants derive their botanical name from the colour of the flowers #plants#plantidentification
Is this allium vineale / wild garlic? Allium oleraceum / field garlic? Or Allium schoenoprasum / #chives?
The last option, chives, is #native to the USA and #PA; the others aren't. I'm growing a native plant garden, so if it's #invasive / introduced, I'll evict it.
When I picked a leaf off the specimen growing out of the wall, it smelled faintly of green #onions, so I'm inclined to believe it is in the onion family.
a) Just a weed?
b) Or perhaps a Common Chicory (Cichorium intybus), unfolding its beauty by the roadside?
c) Maybe you see the chicory plant, versatile in its many uses.
d) Or do you recognize in this delicate blue the romantic symbol of longing and love?
What is this plant again, and how do I properly care for it? Should I divide it into separate “onions” or just leave it as it is? It started as a single “onion” a couple of years ago, and now it is completely overflowing its pot… It sits outside during the summer and inside in a windowsill during the winter. It gets tiny light purple flowers (a few is seen on the photo). I haven't seen any seeds yet.
Solanum crispum, commonly called Chilean potato vine, is native to #Chile & #Peru .
Not edible but leaves are medicinal. Mashed leaves can be applied to cuts, wounds, inflammations or skin problems. #WildernessFirstAid
Quick #GardeningTip : You can take a photo of an unknown plant, then open it on your phone in #GooglePhoto and use the "Lens" feature to get a match for the plant.
This one had several photo matches. The best one came back for "Articum Lappa."
