Sometimes you go along and take a photo of something but you're not really sure what it is or what it is called. Use this thread to post nice photos of things you can't identify :)

What is this flower called ? Its really small.

It looks a bit like Herb Robert, but less pinky and more lilac-y? It's very pretty anyway.

eta: can't be that, as HR has single flowers :huh:

Hey thanks for trying :)

What do you call these carved railings / walls around a posh garden ?

Do you actually know what the flower is? Or were you really looking for the answer?

Stone balusters, balustrading? Like these ... http://www.torstone.com/balustrading.html :D

I really want to know the name of the flowers - so I can put the name on keywords for that image on the photo library I sell my photos through - helps people find them :)

Balustrade - thats it. Thought there was a better name than railings ! Thanks :)

that flower thingy is really niggling me ... it looks so familar but yet ... :huh: Maybe you should post it in the Gardening Group?

Did you take the pic yourself? What time of year, and where? Is it a wild flower or a garden flower? It reminds me of a cranesbull with the stems which is why I said Herb Robert at first. :suspect:

Yeah took pic the other week in botanical gardens. The bit you see is at the end of a branch and you get maybe 3 of these coming off a stem. Quite tall plant, most of it is stem and then these small flowers just millimetres across
