I picked these yesterday, anyone know what they are called??

Well, to me it looks a little like some Rhododenrons, although the leaves on the right of the picture don't look as if they're Rhododenron leaves, but the ones to the left and under the actual flower look more like Rhododendron leaves. Some of the hybrid double Azaleas look a little like that as well.

Where were they growing? Outside?

I live in Australia so I'm not sure what grows there where you are, Wiix.

I look forward to finding out what they are myself. :)

p.s. at first glance I thought they were fancy carnations, but the leaves don't match.

No, they are not Rhodies. I know what they are. This is a short busy plant, outside, yes. I want to say Peonies but I really don't think they are. Maybe Hyacinth or Gardenia?? :confused: I love them anyway. My iguanas like to eat flowers but only when I'm not watching. http://www.sheknows.com/graphics/emoticons/rolling.gif

Your picture is a peony.

The first picture is a hyacinth and the second one is a gardenia

By George, your right:


And funny thing is I knew it at one time but forgot. AND I just bought Peony cologne last week. :eek: Thanks. :hug:

I have another "tree" that I see around here, very exotic. I'll get a leaf and show you. Not tonight though, it's dark out there. :winky:

Can anyone ID these plants???
 
Both were given to me as cuttings which I started BUT I don't know what either one is called. I might have at one time but I forget now.

Plant #1
This one I started from one of the tiny babies at the end of the little red stems hanging down.

Plant #2
This one took Forever to start from a single leaf, that big one in the front.

I know what they are and how to take care of them, but just don't have the time! Right now I have some very nice silk plants in my house! LOL! They dust well!

Here's one of my completed projects.

That reminds me of the garden with a path of fieldstone to the little pond and waterfall I made once for my ducks. I had Muscovies. Anyway, I made the winding path through the low ground cover from the edge of the garden to the center where the pond and waterfall were. It looked really pretty and I figured the ducks would follow the path. :winky: Yea right. They go in a straight line towards the water from the outside edge of the garden and trampled all the ground cover and other plants. I wasn't mad, just amused so I redid the path in a straight line and they followed it from then on. :D

I just looked at this thread for the 1st time. I had a plant similar to that 1st one. It was a Dracinna Warnecki (sp). My MIL had it & it was big then. She gave it to us soon after We got married in 1982. My DH & I went away for our 25th anniversary, while the kids stayed home with the dogs (kids ages 21 & 19). When we got home it was..gone. Even though it was in a large pot my son claimed the dog knocked it over & started chewing on it. He threw it all away...I bet I could have restarted something from it. My 25+ year old Gary was now gone http://bestsmileys.com/crying/2.gif

(we knew a "Gary" with a similar last name so I named it :cool: )

I think they are begonias. There are tons of types, some with hairy leaves and some waxy. If you can start them from leaves, that is one of their characteristics.
