Me too!

Thank you ladies

Anyone know what these cut flowers are and are they easy to grow? They are a bit like small lilies but with no scent. They came through the post mid March and are just starting to fade now.

Alstroemeria. Grow really well. Don’t seem to grow easily from seed. But plants grow very well.

Another possibility impossible ask.
I brought this very lovely camellia

[attachment=4824]

I brought because it supposed to be lady Campbell (red). 
I don’t think it is what it said on the tin. I don’t mind it’s still a very nice dark pink which is different to the one I’ve already got. I’ll not be asking for a swap or refund, but I would like to put a name to it if possible. Any idea? It seems like it might be quite recognisable to a more experienced camellia grower, with its very open flower and bright yellow stamens.

More work for you all . I’ve got a couple that I’m not sure about.

This one is coming back as a Picea morrisonicola when I do a google image search?

This one is coming back as a hydrangea ?  leaves seem small for a hydrangea. Definitely not the same as any of the other hydrangeas I’ve got cuttings from. Or the big grown up ones in the garden.

The variegated one veggie identified on the other thread yesterday was obviously correct . Thank you.

Definitely hydrangea.
Leaf shape and flower shape look v similar to my “Vanilla Fraises” - .
Though vanilla fraises flowers are slightly pinkier and stems are reddish.

Your stems are reddish too and I can see a bit of pink on flowers.
Reckon that it is vanilla fraises.

Thanks farendwoman. I’ve just google vanilla fraises. wow! I really hope it turns into that. That’s lovely.
Will be watching that flower develop very closely.

According to Wiki, that pine is native to Taiwan and only found there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picea_morrisonicola
I think Google images is trying too hard.
