  • Another flower ID please (well four actually!)

    According to T&M I should have Salvia, Penstemon, Delphinium and Echinacea but none of them were labelled and my flower knowledge is pretty um.... lacking!

    Can anyone help?



    Edit - I do have pics of the individual plants if needed! : )

    1 is Delphinium and 4 is Echanecia. I think 2 is a Penstemon and 3 a Salvia but I may be wrong.

      Ok. I think, left to right you have:
      Delphinium
      Penstemon
      Salvia (slightly furry leaves?)
      Echinacea

      See what anyone else thinks. Can't believe there was nothing to indicate which is which.

          Strange not to have any labelling................
          My guesses L to R
          Delphinium
          Penstemon
          Salvia
          Echinacea

          But I not really sure about any of them, except maybe the Delphinium

          Edit - I hadn't seen the other posts - so looks like we are agreed

            2 is penstemon, yep. Tubular bells? Lovely flower mix.. Agree with #1 too, haven't grown Echanecia before, so not sure about that one, nor salvia

              Now the excitement starts building in anticipation of finding out what colours they will be next year!

                The penstemon, I've had red and pink so far - others are still forming buds (in a shaded area, so are rather late..)

                They're great flowers though - here's a pic of one!

                  Very pretty!

                  Earlier this year I bought a Garnet and Husker Red which are still flowering now and I love them both so excited to see what these one's will be!

                  Not my pics!
