Help Please?

I will keep my eye out at the garden centers, because you have actually stumped me as far as the identity goes. Is it a woody shrub, or does it always stay tender? I will look around, like I said. That is a good picture and shows good detail of the little indent on the petals. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Grandpa Bob!Looks like an evening primrose to me. Here's a link to some info about it... http://altnature.com/gallery/Evening_Primrose.htm Good luck and happy gardning! :)

They look like large buttercups :P I have no clue but I'll ask my parents when I get chance, they both have a strange habit of naming flowers of all sorts which is cool (don't get me wrong).. The strange parts the fact I don't know how they know but they do lol (well mostly) Goodluck finding out! ~Joey

Leaves and flower shape all look like impatients to me but can't say I've ever seen them in yellow - usually pinks, white, purple. Very pretty though, send some my way :)

Try this link to the bhg.com plant finder guide. I tried it but don't have enough info on the plant... http://www.bhg.com/bhg/plantfinder/search/pfAdvanceSearchForm.jsp Hope this helps, Grandpa Bob. It is a pretty flower. Post it here if you find out cause I would like a couple of them for my beds.

Ok. I spent the last hour surfing the net trying to find this flower. My first thought, and I still believe this to be true, is a hybrid impatiens. There are sooooo many varieties to choose from that I'm sure I could spend another hour going from site to site. I can definitely tell you this is not a primrose variety. The leaves texture is very rippled on the primrose. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing you probably already know what an impatiens looks like, especially with that little tell tale "tail" on the flower. So, I don't know what to tell you. Let us know if you do find out.

Well being the black thumb that I am I am of no help other then to tell you... I honestly think I've seen these as weeds locally!!!! LOL I wish I was of more help.

Sorry, I don't know what it is, as I expect it's not native to Australia. It's very pretty though. Now that we have had quite a bit if rain over the past few weeks, my garden is realy beginning to brighten up. My husband said I shouldn't put in any more plats until we get more rain. Well, when I do the weekly food hoping tomorrow, I am taking his credit card, & will buy some plants too!

Hi Bob. It's not an impatiens, wrong colour for a start and the end of the leaf is too pointed. Also, the bud is wrong for an impatiens. It's a robust little thing and very healthy looking and it's kind of familiar but I can't place it. If I had my "What Flower is That?" book it would be a cinch but it was stolen from me. Good luck with it.

you know, I still think it might be the evening primrose...put this picture next to yours and see if you agree or not.

Just because you have a green thumb does not mean your thumb is also smart LOL. I love to read books but I do not always remember the names of the people in the stories I am reading. So I can understand how you can plant you plants and not know what you are growing it sounds reasonable to me.

grandpa bob, im so sorry but i can't help you on this one, which is kinda embarrassing since i'm a bio major and all. your plant looks pretty though ;) happy gardening gpa bob!

man though i haev soem kind of interest in gardening but frankly speakin i don't know about this plant. i have never seen it in my country. so sorry from my side!!!

there's some funny bug with the programme so if i respond from your email notice, I can't see your pix! so will post this first and then respond with some ideas later if I know. btw, anyone knows how to get around this bug?

It's a potentilla Gold Drop. Very pretty flower!

Hi Grandpa Bob, I've never seen anything like it before. It doesn't look familiar to me at all, from my childhood days, and all of the beautiful gardens etc. we had at home. It certainly is lovely, and such a vibrant shade of yellow. Hope this 'mystery' is solved soon for you. Have a great day.:)
