How good is your plant knowledge.
Name what type of plant this and guess what it is used for.

I would call it James, and use it for holding the door open.
looks a bit like vanilla to me. lots of interesting things to say about vanilla, but of course it probably isn't

I am sure glad you all have demonstrated you stupidity again.
Rhubarb Thrasher thanks for posting the only polite guess.
The answer will be posted on sept 25 to give ever one a chance to post what they think the plant type is.

Perhaps you should change your name to " Agreatlackofhumorgardener " as it appears you have none.
Its not a bad thing on this site in fact its quite refreshing to sit and have a giggle at some comments that get posted, i find it heart lifting, more so when i have had a S*&$ e day.

It's obviously a cane plant with waxy leaves. Best I can come up with is a rubber plant?
TGG,
Do you know the answer? Is this some sort of challenge? I thought the idea of A4A was to help and encourage people, and to share ideas, not to quiz them?

tgg, don't you just get sick of having to take the hook out of the roof of your mouth. ;D

blythvalley yes I know what the plant is.
If you don't want to guess don't post.
But a simple guessing game is harmless to all.
Humor has it's place. But posting off topic continuously is sign that you might be a troll.
But in ollie ,rosebud and George case this already proven fact.

A pic quiz in the gallery is perfectly acceptable.

Looks a bit like a phalaenopsis, as I have one on the window cill that is resting.

normally i'd leap right in with a stupid comment but OllieC beat me to it. BTW If it takes me longer to think of something stupid to say, does that make me more stupid, or less stupid? Says it all really. I'm not even clever enough to say how stupid I am
in short FICUS ASHORTPLANK
made a date for the 25th. I'm on tenterhooks already
The Ficus part has got to be right. Ficus Elastica 'Robusta'. And it's uses? Something to do with absorbing formaldehyde?

So much hostility, tgg! No need to call someone stupid just cos they made a joke! Why oh why do you always make it personal? It's alright though, I forgive you!
well I like tgg. He said I was polite
I'm not sure of the Latin name, but in English it's "The only thing in the opening post with a life".
Who's George?
;D
ollie you can tell jokes when you learn how to tell them. These forum are not proper place to act like a fool you seem to want to be. Come back after you learn to place nice with others.
Are you the policeman from Allo Allo?

Or because they laughed at a joke. Can someone point me in the direction of the other stupid posts by George, please. He sounds quite a character. ;)

I must be the stupidest person of the lot - it took me all of 10 minutes to get it (wonder if tgg got it?) then I fell off my chair laughing :) ;) :D ;D :o :o :o :o :o ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Ha, you funny!!
asbean I understood it was a joke but did not consider your antics to be funny.
But your handle I find very funny. How do you deal with nitrogen nodule build up.
Amazin I know you are getting on a bit 108(?) just cast your mind back to "With a little help from my friend :)" and all will become clear.
Oh, you mean THAT George? Oh yes, bl**dy good bloke!
Cheers Lorna
;)
Here we go again, hibernation was shorter than I expected.
George, come out and show yourself you bad lad/lass.
Roo, that was the funniest thing I have seen in ages, I am still laughing and at my age that is dangerous and I am not kidding.
Plant looks like a Stephanotis to me, used for weddings, but I am a squash grower so what would I know!!!
I love the daft guesses , come on Trixiebelle where are you!! Lets have some fun.
Ollie that was very subtle.
XX Jeannine
yes Asbean, please keep control of your Antics, and your Nodules if you don't mind
yes we need more of Jeannine's Common Sense And Reasonableness and some of Trixiebelle's Kick-Ass Bonkers-ness ( an unbeatable combination IMHO)

I can't help it - it's the beans that I eat that have this effect on me ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
and please don't get personal - I DO NOT HAVE NODULES :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
Ah bless.. I have some spares you can have ..
I'm beginning to feel deprived (or is it depraved ??? )
Everyone's perfectly nice with everyone else. I wonder whether that's saying anything about a certain poster?
Leaves look too pointed and big for a Stephanotis Jeannie (I only know cos I have one!) ;)
I'm going to second vanilla.... sorry to be a copycat.
Ooh I can't wait until the 25th!!!
Hi Biscombe..see I told you I was no good with flowers.. actually it does look rather like an orchid I have not managed to kill off somehow.
XX Jeannine
FOA AMAZIN
Will please kill that bloody carrot.
OH DEAR, OH DEAR,
DAN, WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS TROLL.
WE SHALL ALL BEHAVE IF YOU GET RID.
Well done Rosebud..I simply cannot figure this out and believe me I have tried.
Jen, i have just thought why are we all feeding him because that is exactly what he wants , of course we are stupid, all trolls thrive on the answers we give so lets all IGNORE IT EH!!!!.
Ohhhh stead on !!
Ok i will be a boring old f@rt and guess a Hoya :)
Actually I think you are right, I have decided that if he posts nicely I will join in but am not going to feed the silliness anymore.
Last messge to tgg from me... be nice.
XX Jeannine
the only ice-cream I like is vanilla ice cream, so if it's that, please may I have a pod?
And the 25th will be my birthday, so wotta nice ice prezzie I'll have :D

The next thing he does is accuse you of being a troll, Rosebud. It's a shame, we're a pretty welcoming bunch on here and would still be entirely welcoming if the continuous side swipes stopped.
I don't think it is vanilla.....Vanilla has alternate leaves...but then you can't see the leaf arrangement very well. It does look like an orchid though.
Speaking as someone who has, gratefully, been given a second chance by DAN on this site, I am against banning.
There are always posters that can get the heckles up, but you can choose to ignore them.
You have to realise that there are some dedicated wind up merchants out there, and have to sort the wheat from the chaff.
I have had to say to myself "I shall not be drawn. I shall not be drawn." As much as what is posted goes against my grain.
I love this site, and should be unhappy if it started to ban posters.
We can all be a bit controversial, but that's what this site is all about.
Keep up the good work DAN.

Looks like an orchid to me. Uses?? Aphrodisiac, curing sterility ... well If you lived in China many years ago. Don't think it's vanilla though, but what do I know?
I talk to folk like Ollie C and George. ::) ::)
I agree, no banning, I was agreeing with Rosebud about the ignoring which is what I aim to do now. I just do find it hard for the posters who are new or ask a simple question, and I do get cross when I start to think the point of a post IS to get folks annoyed. Regretfully this is what I am believing is the case here.
In the beginning I thought it was an odd sense of humour or a language difficulty both of which is I hane np problem with but not anymore.
Sad, but !!
So I am out.

I hope that doesn't mean you will stop posting.
I think this site is a 'broad church'. It has its irritations, but it also has its wonderful friendly informative side.
Stick in there Jeannine, please. ;D
valmarg
Oh no sweetie, it would take much more than that!!
By out I mean I am giving up on this post.
Thank you for caring love.
Smashing site, with tons of good folks.

He's sending PM's now:
<<the moderator privatly warned them to be have or they would be banned.>>
I told him that if I was the mod, I'd be warning him. But no, I don't think he's done anything to warrant banning, yet.
those who guessed vanilla are correct.
Thank you for the answer finally, TGG.
This topic is smattered with unnecessary jibes and comments. It's not what the gallery was set-up for. I hope we can all take a step back and a breath and consider the content of future Gallery topics.
PS: Apart from one reply to a PM, no Moderator PM's were sent to any contributor concerning this topic. This thread has ended and is locked.
Thanks, Kew.
