Hey there i recently paid a visit to Ness Botanical Gardens to spark
some
insiration for a large garden i have recently aquired due to
moving. Me and my
partner found so many plants we loved and would like
to grow in our garden but
there just wasn't enough info or enough name
tags to help us, so we need your
help! I wouldnt say i was a complete
beginner to gardening or plants, i just
have no idea on the names on the
following.

Please could you help!

James.

Sorry, but with Dialup it is just too slow to spend the time looking at
the
pictures. But I could suggest that you join the Friends of Ness
group and then
you would get all your plants identified very easily.
Or you could join the Alpine Garden Society Wirral and West Cheshire
group which
meets in Burton Village Hall and ask the former Director of
Ness Gardens who is
the groups secretary.
I think the first picture is of Paulonia tomentosa by the size of the
leaves.

# 13348
Looks like a Ligularia, maybe L. alatipes.
(It's difficult to find a photo with a closeup of the foliage)

It isn't a Paulownia; its leaves have smooth edges.

(Good job Pat)
