Big plants
I love big plants. Not big pants. Plants. [...] herbaceous plants that go from nothing to gigantic in the space of a few weeks.

Oh, patientgardener - you have just dug up one of the best plants for bees! They just love it. I do hope you have replaced it with something as good for pollinators as our food supply depends on them.

Hello patrician, James has included links to images of each of the plants discussed in his blog - clicking the link from each plant name will take you to his lovely photos on flickr.com. Best, Daniel The Gardeners' World web team

I have a plant that I cannot identify, my friend gave me a pot with "tubers" before she was posted to Cyprus, the label in the pot said Heliotropium-arbdr Marine. Now the plants has grown and it is not a Heliotropium, it has huge leaves and long stems with amazing flowers that the flies love. I have photos but how do I upload them. Would like to know!

Hi, I have 2 lovely bay trees at my hall door but they have become covered in a black (gunge)which I think has something to do with aphids. Nothing I have put on them has cleared it so please HELP as they really look awfull.

WElsh Wizard: You could upload it to Flickr or somewhere similar and then post the link. Difficult to identify it without a picture. Keelykins: Your bay trees are covered in sooty mould which is the result of aphid secretions. Wipe the leaves with soapy water and then feed the plant well as stronger , healthier plants are more likely to shrug off such things.

I have just dug up most of my Inula hookeri. They were just no longer to my liking and dominated the border far too much. I can see they would be excellent in a different planting scheme though.
