Thanks: Gave 198, Got 331 | Name that Flower
I thought I would create a thread for people wanting to find the names of flowers that they have taken pictures of.
I am looking for the name of this pink one. I don't think it is a geranium, but I could be wrong.

The first one is a Pelargonium (sometimes called a Geranium) and the second appears to be a variety of Tulip.
Both are cracking shots.  | |

After a quick google search for "Pelargonium " it looks like is call "Pelargonium Rodneyanum" with a common name of "Magenta Storksbill", native of Australia. Presumably named after some bloke called Rodney.

The first one is Plumbago, but the other two have me beat. That last one is really exotic looking. Nice shots though | |

[QUOTE=sockpuppetuk;7259445]Oh, I had this one labelled as a Gazania.
I think they might both be Gazanias of different varieties. Have a look here The leaves are also helpful in IDing plants, so maybe try and include some if possible.

Any ideas about this one (or the bugs, one of which needs a bit of cloning to clean it up): | |

Yes, shield bug, although I can't find this species in my guide, was it taken in the UK?.
The plant seems to be fennel.
