In forum: Identify a plant
Hello, after many hours "googling" I have my answer = Kalanchoe Mexican Hat, Mother of Millions. Mine is unusual in that it is an indoor plant (albeit on a slightly cold windowsill) which has flowered. My guess is seemingly correct in that the production of flowers does indeed mean a "death or battle cry" as apparently she only flowers close to the mother plant dying. Shame. I will try to pot some of her "droppings" and see what happens. Thanks guys. Clare

In forum: Identify a plant
Hello, as part of my Forest School training I have to identify all the species growing in our site. Please can you identify this one as it has stumped both me and my head teacher? Thanks very much everyone. The shrub is the one at the back in the first picture.

Hello, I believe I have a few Viburbums in my garden but I was looking to clarify that and see if anyone knew specifically what kind of Viburnum it may be?

In forum: Trees and shrubs
There is an old forsythia in our shared garden, and it has turned into a small tree, with diseased growths. I would like to rejuvenate it over a few years, so I cut back about a third of the branches last year. There is new growth but I'm not sure if it is from the rootstock. Please can anyone advise? Thank you.

In forum: Wisteria floribunda 'Alba'
There is a wisteria in our shared garden that is about 20 years old but has apparently never flowered. It is a large, well- established plant. I meant to prune it it in Jan/Feb but forgot because of the hard winter. Is it too late now? The garden is in Edinburgh, so I wondered if I could still prune as in colder North. I would be grateful for advice.
