Hi All,

Tomtom,
Your photo of Pentapetes phoenicea looks very similar to the seedling that I have and the flower/plant looks good too.

However I might be looking at the wrong plant as the seedlings don't seem to be the same.

Trc,
Thanks for the advice on naming but as you can see from above I might not have it sussed yet :).

Onewish, (New A)
Sedum - Stonecrop looks very similar to a plant that is growing on a neighbouring wall, however, I did not know what it was called and also could not find any seedlings. See attached you might know which it is.

Allalla,
I am unsure if you mean sow and leave in pots or sow and then replant when a good size. I was told that resowing is often quiet bad for seedlings and direct planting should always be done when possible.The plants that I actually planted, were put in pots or in some cases both pots and direct planting, so that seedlings could be identified. The direct plant areas were marked out with either pebbles or (for the sweet pea) stakes. All of the seedlings that I have asked about are ones that I did not plant. As a new gardener (and I use that term loosely about myself :) ) I did not want to leave or remove anything that could have looked good or bad..

Thanks for everyone's time and effort.
