Aug9, 2007, 360, Identifying my plant




Thanks to Vero and her many friends I think the plant on my wall paper has been identified. She and her friends came up with two possible names, they thought either Sedum or Bergenia. So I looked at as many images of those two plants as my search engine would throw up and finally found this picture, which seems to be about as close as it is possible to my garden plant. My plant has slightly pinker flowers and smaller leaves, but apart from that they look just about the same. So thanks Vero, with your help I think this plant is
BERGENIA EMEIENSIS, SAXIFRAGACEAC
And as an added bonus I have come across an amazing source of plant images that can identify just about anything. This picture is one of many from botanic gardens all over the world and can be found in
Tim Waters' Photos (Flickr)
his pictures are well worth a look, thanks Tim (who ever you are)
This is the earliest garden post I could find, I think it was originally posted on 360 because there are no comments and I remember when I saved all my 360 posts to Multiply I couldn't find a way to save the comments. Vero was lovely.........I don't know where she and her gardening friends have gone
