Mowerman, may I suggest you also consider treating Himalayan Balsam?

This is the larve on the underside of a leaf and are small

That's only because you didn't, often, give her any food

Thank you kindly.

@Silver surfer You are, of course, correct - O Wise One

I would agree with that Armandii, it self seeds like crazy in the clay soil hereabouts.

are these any better @Silver surfer ..I pulled it out oops..

If your cuttings don't take or over winter you can buy them in spring very cheaply as plug plants. This site sells 70 for £15.00

No doubt an experience to behold @shiney

We all appreciate your knowledge here on GC Silver surfer.

Thank you Sheal, you have come to my rescue, yet again!!

Quite right Cinnamon, or a very close relative. Definately a Helianthus.

I'd guess at a a Leucanthemum of sort sort.

Pic 1 - My Dad has some of these donated by a friend who named them perennial sunflowers. They are possibly Sunflower maximiliani.Pic 2 - Looks like a variant of Rudbeckias, possibly Rudbeckia fulgida.

Thank you Anthony.

thanks pete

I think, with your help I have managed to identify the first plant in my garden. I believe it is Acacia Boormanii. Thank you very much.

Probably best to buy a pound of apples
