Small white, purple and yellow flower plant/weed?
Comments (1)Torenia....See Moreplant sold as swamp lily/pinkish white flower/what is it?
Comments (4)Okay, here's some pictures I found that look almost like what I have. The flower on my plant doesn't have the purple strips - it's more a solid pink. It's not a dark pink or red like the second picture either but you get the idea because the foliage & stalk with the flower is the same. It may have something to do with soil conditions, water, etc. crinum lily...See MoreFlower scorch (?) on Oleander - any advice please!
Comments (3)I suspect that the flowers have been damaged by rain and/or cold. If you bought a flowering oleander 3 weeks ago it had to have been brought on in a green house. No oleander would be flowering outdoors yet. If you just brought it home, transplanted it to a pot ( shock no.1 to its system) then put it outdoors straight way (shock no.2) then I am not surprised the flowers suffered. If it it has now been outside for 3 weeks all you can do is wait. It will probably recover as temperatures creep up. In future check at the nursery/garden centre whether plants have been 'hardened off' ie habituated to outdoor conditions. If they have not you will need to do it yourself. Lots of books or websites will tell you how. Also research plants before you buy them to find their natural flowering time so you don't have unrealistic expectations for them. Garden centres always sell stuff very early in the season and unless you know about a plants requirements and habits you can get caught out. Regarding the spraying. If you are gardening entirely in pots you should be able to deal with any pests without recourse to sprays. Aphids can be knocked down with a hard squirt from a spray or hose or even just by running your fingers along the stems to squash them. Remember, if you have killed the greenfly you have also killed any beneficial insects such as ladybirds and bees. If you DO spray there is no point spraying unaffected plants. Bifenthrin kills insects on contact. No insects no contact. It won't stop insects moving in later. OK nag over. Enjoy your gardening....See MoreUnusual Plant With White Flower S.E. MI, z5
Comments (5)Carol, it most certainly does! UM shows a purplish flower but says a white form has been collected. Since I couldn't get very close, it's possible this flower is purple and not white as it appears to be in the photo. Thank you! This is the first time I've seen comfrey. I expected it to look more like common mullein....See MoreMittens Cat
