  • You could try one of the better plant sellers that stock a wide range, maybe the RHS site will be able to help or any friendly neighbours that have well looked after gardens, most people that garden are nice and would be happy to spend half an hour, could offer them tea and biccies :D

    The easiest option is to photograph them and post them up here as a 'What Is This Plant' thread.. other than that, the RHS Books are as good as owt you can buy, but the best enyclopedia is at your fingertips :)

    Forget the threads, just take some piccies and post them up. Someone here will know.
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'
