0 John Richmond 1,158 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 It's a cactus dahlia, possibly one called 'Hayley Jane' but I'm not 100% certain on that as the centre is paler than I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Janet 29 Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thank you John, I'll check out Hayley Jane. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Allan Bell 2,527 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Hope you don't mind me using this thread Janet but it would be better than starting another as it is the same subject. Hope someone can help with naming the following flowers. Daisy but what kind? No idea. Allan Edited October 15, 2019 by Allan Bell Link to post Share on other sites
0 John Richmond 1,158 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 #1 is one of the annual Rudbeckia hirta varieties. There's a lot of these so I can't say which one. #2 Is a double flowered impatiens. I can't tell from the image if the leaf midribs have a red tinge or not but if they have it's a New Guinea hybrid type, otherwise a normal busy lizzie hybrid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Janet It's really a combination of academic training and strong interest accumulated over many years. I'm a research biologist/ecologist by original academic training and have been a keen gardener for more years than I care to think about. In my spare time I used to write articles for UK and US gardening magazines, started a gardening blog in 1997 and needed images which forced me into developing my plant and garden photography to pro levels. Since retirement as a commercial IT and systems trainer I've been able to volunteer at The Garden House near Plymouth, one of the top 100 gardens in the UK, where I do a lot of their photography and help with their marketing.

0 Janet 29 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Wow, that's a lot of information to take in. I am very jealous of your garden, but needs must, I am in a flat in London, but hubby has an allotment, so I'm not too bad on veggies but flowers another matter. It's great to have you on the forum as you're a mine of information. Thank you very much Janet Link to post Share on other sites
0 Ed Rooney 3,865 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The only thing I've been able to grow is a beard. That's odd, since my father and his two brothers grew up as florists in Brooklyn. Fitzsimons and Rooney was a famous florist store on Court Street in Brooklyn in the early 1900s.

0 John Richmond 1,158 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Only 23 images on Alamy for Camphor Thyme on Alamy, Ian - and 5 of those are definitely misidentified - two Satureja (winter savory) and three which appear to be rosemary.

It's a ball type dahlia. A quick look suggests 'Genova' but I can't be certain. Link to post Share on other sites
