I do know you can change the color though...coffee grounds will do the blue purple and I think acid will do the pink tones ... I just got a purple one so I am trying to keep it purple with coffee ..

Re: Name these flowers #93839 April 29th, 2006 at 02:37 AM Joined: Jan 2005 Ontario, Canada ChristinaC Member ChristinaC Member Joined: Jan 2005 Ontario, Canada #4 Kinda' looks like Lamb's Ear or maybe sage??? Lamb's ear has pink coloured flowers, sage is more of a purple/blue.

Re: Name these flowers #93840 April 29th, 2006 at 04:01 AM A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A triss did say #4 gets pink flowers...so that probably IS the lambs ear. just did a search on bergenia...yup, that's what #2 is... bergenia pic

Lambs Ear. That is it for sure! She told me the name but I could not for the life of me remember. Thanks for that one!!!

Does anyone have pics of a Daphne or information? I have not found much. Are azalea's and rody's in the same family?

Re: Name these flowers #93843 April 29th, 2006 at 08:41 AM Joined: Jun 2005 Ontario netty Member netty Member Joined: Jun 2005 Ontario Daphne is considered an evergreen shrub. They are sun loving and require moist, well drained soil.

Re: Name these flowers #93844 April 29th, 2006 at 08:56 AM Joined: Jun 2005 Ontario netty Member netty Member Joined: Jun 2005 Ontario I really don't think that #4 is lambs ear. The leaves look too long and slender and the leaves edges appear thinner and more jagged. Also, Lamb's ears don't have bright pink flowers. They have blooms that are kind of inconspicuous and lighter pink.

I checked with her tonight and she said it is Lambs Ear. Will have to see what the flowers end up like. The ones I got were babies but she has much bigger plants.

Re: Name these flowers #93846 May 12th, 2006 at 06:27 AM Joined: Feb 2006 California flycats Member flycats Member Joined: Feb 2006 California There is a plant called purple crown pink (lychnis coronaria astrosanguinia) that looks like lamb's ear and has pink flowers.

Re: Name these flowers #93847 May 12th, 2006 at 06:34 AM Joined: Feb 2006 California flycats Member flycats Member Joined: Feb 2006 California Here's a pic of it in my garden (pre bloom) The leaves look mottled only because the photo's been enlarged, but they are VERY similar to lamb's ear leaves. fuzzy soft and silvery. A little more green in them.

Mine seem to have a bit more grey in them. Looks close though. Looking forward to when they bloom but right now they are still just wee things.
