Topic: 2 x what's this?

Maybe there should be a "What's this" forum ;D

I really must label stuff, this plant must of been taken from a cutting or one sent to me and i have split it, as 4 of them were in a pot that i have planted. I have no-idea if it's edible or not.

This is growing wild by the side of my plot, it's about 4-5' high and smells a bit like rosemary.

Second one's mugwort.  You can smoke it in small quantities.

my guess on the first one is Escallonia

Is the first one a wee bit prickly...its not a young Escallonia is it?

edit...great minds think alike Digeroo :)

No, it's not prickly.

First one looks like scarlet pimpernel.

I think i have found what the first one might be.
This is it flowering


This is a Diascia(flying colours) about 6 weeks after i bought it half dead from B&Q for about 50p


The only thing i can think of, is i potted us some bits that i had cut of the main plant.  ???
