  • Gardening Newbie trying to identify veg

    Hi there, just moved to house with lots of gardening to do!
    I'm trying to identify these:Click image for larger version

    Looks like orange corn kernels in a pod about 3 inches long.

    Thanks!

    Welcome Mendy, can you tell us where you are it helps with answering questions. I have to say it's new to me.

      Possibly flower rather than veg. As the pod is still green, the seeds are probably not yet fully mature and might grow darker in colour. Here's a possibility:

      If not this, then perhaps some other kind of lily. Sure as eggs are eggs, though, someone here will know.

      Oh, welcome to the Vine.

        Hi Burnie,
        I'm in East Midlands.
        The plant is growing next to a box hedge and has long pointy leaves as in pics below

                  Hi MendyL and welcome
                  I like Stinking iris as you can play a little game with it! If you pick a leaf and fold it in half it gives off its special aroma. It doesn't "stink" but does have a particular smell.
                  Have a sniff and come back and tell us what it reminds you of.

                      Well done, Nicos Did it remind you of anything?
                      We need a few more volunteers to do the smell test - perhaps you could try a leaf on Mr Nicos

                        Mr Nicos can't smell anything at the moment!(awaiting nasal surgery!)

                        Reminded me a bit of when you take a saddle off a sweaty horse...but not as salty.

                          I've never had that dubious pleasure, Nicos! Not sure I want to

                              I'm sure you don't smell like a Stinking iris, Scarlet

                              You'll just have to find a leaf to check whether Nicos has identified it - or not
