Do you know what this flower is growing in the garden?
It has been in flower for the whole of June.
Comments moderation has been switched on during the quiz.
P.S I have noticed that quite a number of bloggers do not have redirect to https switched on. This means that your blog is not secure. It is very easy to make the switch in blogger settings.
You've got me there.

DeleteI think it's in settings, not layout Rosemary - but good advice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my error, I have changed it now.
DeleteThe leaves look familiar but can't place the flower to those leaves.
ReplyDeleteMy https is switched on, just had a look...thanks.
Take care.
There may be a clue there!
DeleteIt looks like a member of the mint family. Perhaps a little vividly colored for peppermint, but beyond that I am not sure. --Jim
ReplyDeleteHello Jim - it is not a member of the mint family.
DeleteDearest Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteDon't know what this flower is...
What you wrote in an earlier post about the old blogger vanishing in about two weeks was not correct. Till the end of July, people still have a chance to revert back to the old Blogger: By late July, creators will no longer be able to revert to the legacy Blogger interface.
But the transition is simple.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette - I did read and realise that it might carry on until towards the end of July and mentioned that fact in one or two of my comments. However, with Blogger you can never be totally sure about what they might or might not do. I think the sooner everyone gets used to it the better it will be for them.
DeleteHi rosemary... I did switch it over temporarily...and then switched back...I could not find a place to write a new post????????? Can you help me??? I even googled it, but to no avail...thanks!
Delete💞
DeleteHi Rosemary. I'm thinking Anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum). Very pretty, easy to grow, herbaceous perennial.

There is a little bit of deception going on here Mary, not on my part but on the part of the plant.
DeleteWhen I look closer, the leaves look very much like a hydrangea! Are the flowers faux by chance - stems look plastic? Someone is playing with us??????
DeleteThe flowers, the stems, and the leaves, are all real Mary and growing in that pot!!!
Delete👍
ReplyDeleteDear Rosemary, When enlarged like this it is difficult to tell what this plant might be. Maybe Spearmint?
ReplyDeleteIt is not a member of the mint family Gina.
DeleteLooks likes Lupinus, but no, leaves are different. No idea.
ReplyDeleteI’ll send feedback when something wrong. Thanks for your recomment and tips.
Yoko
Not a Lupinus Yoko.
DeleteKeep on persevering, I think that blogger still have a few creases left to iron out.
I'm afraid I don't have a single clue!
ReplyDelete👍
DeleteYes, indeed I do, though I've never seen one in a plant pot before.
ReplyDeleteHi John - You don't have to say what the flower is John, but I knew that you would know.
DeleteI think it's some sort of hyssop although the leaves look rather broad for that plant.
ReplyDeleteNot a hyssop Linda.
DeleteThe leaves look like hydrangea to me, but I have no idea what the flower/plant is. Looking forward to finding out!
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfect guess.
DeleteIt looks like an orchid growing with a hydrangea.
ReplyDeleteWell done - both answers are correct.
DeleteOh, heavy. First I thought of an orchid , but no - leaves are like that of a hydrangea, I think. But not in form of a "ball" or "plate", but upright (know some hanging ones.) Mmmh. Very wild guess: Hydrangea paniculata.
ReplyDeleteSometimes our first thoughts are the best.
DeleteMaybe hydrangea paniculata Diamant Pink? Or Candle Light? Whatsoever - I enjoy your quiz immensely!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Britta.
DeleteIt looks like a wild orchid that has popped up in a pot of something else!
ReplyDeleteWell done Betty - it is a wild Common Spotted Orchid growing alongside a hydrangea.
DeleteNo idea.
ReplyDelete😀
DeleteI've seen somethong a bit like this, but I've no idea what it is. I can't even find one in my issues of Gardeners World. You have some very interesting plants. I'm going to throw out a guess and say loosestrife. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteNot loosestrife Jane.
DeleteHi Rosemary...thanks for your reply on my blog...after I wrote this, I found it! hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteThe new format may take a little getting used to...😁
Hi Linda - I have found that new blogger keeps on changing slightly from day to day. I think that they are still tinkering around with it at the moment.
DeleteI don't know what it is. But it is beautiful. You can grow more of it and you can share it with other gardeners. It is a mystery plant for sure.
ReplyDelete🌝
DeleteThe leaves look like the ones of Hydrangea and the flower looks like a big flower of Persicaria ....so no I don't know .
ReplyDeleteMany commenters have recognised the leaves correctly Jane but not the flower.
