    If you have a smartphone, try the 'plantnet' app, you can upload photos of the leaves or flowers and it will bring up suggestions. I've found it pretty good.

    I recently found a app that does plant ID needs smartphone and either data on or wifi to work. I dont use data so can only use when wifi is available

    There's a nice variation on number 1, which is pink, with the varietal name 'Canon Went.' I prefer that.

    Yes i have no 1 pink and purple. The bees do love them and they seed every where. They look good together.

    Thanks for this thread. I have been wondering what had popped up in my garden, and now discover it is a ...CAPER SPURGE. Looks tall and structured, but I was worried it may be trying to take over the world. Much happier now!

    I've found the purple to be dominant and I don't know if the pink will seed true if they're close, but a packet of seed is £2 and they germinate easily.


    There's also another variation, called Springside White, which I imagine may be the least easy to breed true.
  • Thought i'd show you a couple of mine at the moment
