Silene x hampeana

Morning everyone, hope it's a good day for all. I'm not sure I've the right name for this as the flowers are vibrant pink rather than red. #plantid

Thanks Lin, that sounds much more likely @linfoster

Morning peeps, hope the sun shines on everyone today

I love this plant (I have the lime leaved variety) but I'm forever digging them up as they spread quicker then weeds 😁

Morning Jeremy, it’s shining here ☀️☀️

@angiecrazycatlady I believe they're self seeders so I'll try and deadheads as soon as I see any that are fading.

I do too but it's like a lot of other jobs in the garden ....never ending 😆 I love it really 😂

Morning JP have a fab day 👍🏻

You too Vanessa

Morning all, hope it's a fab Friday for everyone. Please help me identify this plant, its forming a superb dome and just about to burst out in cerise flowers #plantid

I don’t know but it looks very healthy 💚

Looks a bit like bourage , but just a guess

Oooh that looks interesting not one I recognize do let us know and post it again when it's in full flower like the shape of it bet it will be lovely in full bloom 💜💕💜

@Keely I wondered if it was a Campanula?

I really don't know leaves don't look much like a campanula they are normally jagged edges in the clump forming ones, it does look similar to a borage leaf but still not seen one like it I've tried to Google borage but can't find any similar 😕

Reminds me of a pulmonaria, one without spotty leaves..?

Does it have a square stem?

@cosmicveggie it doesn't have any central stem, round, square or other it's forming a dome about 30cm high with oval leaves

Ok have a look at the piece of stem in between leaf pairs

Can you post a close up too?😊

I think that's a good thought, strange that the leaves are non-varigated but I'll post a close up tomorrow (weather permitting) 🤞🙂
