It could equally be the root mass of a well-established Weldenia candida.

Help needed: This photograph is part of a newspaper quiz here in Ireland - can you identify the garden?

It is the last of the 40 questions and the only one which has stumped me - and it is annoying me as the garden is familiar but I can't put a name on it.

Any keen-eyed garden visitors out there who can help?

Believe it or not, after a week mulling over this photograph and then posting it here on the puzzle page of the forum, it has finally struck me which garden it is.

I'll leave it as a puzzle for a day or two but will give the hint that Ashley was the one I should have asked.

It's Bantry House Paddy.

With the biggest wisteria circle in Ireland!

It was a question in Jane Powers' Christmas Quiz in the Irish Times Weekend Magazine.

Thanks, Ashley.

I'm in the mood for a quiz.  Let's see how quickly this can be identified:

[Lesley Cox]

Is it a pic of the little rosettes that sometimes form on a stem of encrusted saxifrage flowers?
No, it's not.

No

No, it's not.

Correct, no, it's not

(I was wondering who would be first with the right answer - Lesley I thought, if she's up yet)
There's a challenge for you Lesley

Aeonium?

Well I'm up all right (it's 10 past 10am on the 30th Dec at present) but not up to it, obviously. The brain isn't working properly yet.

[Diane Clement]

Aeonium?   Paddy 

No Paddy

[Lesley Cox]

I've been sitting gazing at it for a full 5 minutes and NOTHING springs to mind. Help me here Maggi, slip me the answer under the desk.

How can you be 13 hours ahead of us (it's 21.10 here) ?? do you have summer time?

[Maggi Young]

Fat chance, Lesley! I feel I have seen something like this very recently... but have no idea WHERE! Can't have been the sea slug site, surely???
