Are those green, spiky, flower like things at the top, Lin? If so, it is likely to be one of the sedges - likes moist, humusy ground.

No Idea.....the pot is beautiful

could be one of the ornamental papyrus. but wont survive outside in the winter. needs to be inside.

I remember that we had something similar many years ago. It made a nice green house plant and the cats loved to eat it!!! They eventually ate it all.

Thanks Bulbaholic, yes they are like flower sprays,but all green. I bought this from a boot sale (50p) and the lady said it was a water plant but would grow almost anywhere, especially in soggy soil. Perhaps I would find it in a 'Water Plant' book.I.ll do a bit of searching.

Thankyou Pimpernel, so glad you like the pot. Its a tempered brass pot and come from the boot sale aswell (£1.75p)....thought that was a brill buy.

<<<<Loves a bargain, it is even nicer now.

:o))))))))))))) ~ Me too!! Do you have many boot sales local to you Pimpernel if so, do you go to them?

Oh yes Lin, I arrive before the sellers often haha! Plus the one I go to has a few Nursery Plantsmen selling their excess or stock plants. Never come away empty handed.

Me neither, I will always find something to buy.....What's the point of going otherwise...(Thats my excuse anyway)!!!!

Oh I MISS car boot sales! I used to find good gardening buddies that way.
