Plant no. 1 :thumb:

I don't know much about plants and am still learning but could it be a comfrey. Again, I guess, picturs of flowers might help

Yes, but Scotty dogs are not likely to eat the root because it is bitter. I don't think they would eat enough of the green parts to affect them unduly - but I wouldn't want to be cleaning up after them :hehe:. It contains a glycoside, variously called bryonin(e) or bryonidin, which is a...

Hi Peter,thanks! have looked on goole images and i think you are right.

Think I'm gonna have to pull this damn thing out ...

Sure do, Have a look there. Our native one is yellow & grows in wetlands, other wise know as the fleur de lys

You will never know unless you try.:gnthb:

I have some Nicandra growing, but the flower bracts (the coverings of the young flowers) are all dark purple. So too are all the stems, though the underside of some stems are green.Is there any purple on yours, shortie? Or have you got a slightly different variety?

No worries, now go out & get that goat !

:thumb: OK Sven I will have another look as I was getting totally mind boggled by them..!!:lollol:

When it goes to seed, the flowers curl into any cracks they can reach before dropping the seed, ensuring the next generation stays on the wall.

I think I'd rather have it Palustris than Oenothera speciosa 'Rosea' which I brought from the UK to here as it has taken over and I can't eradicate it as the roots seem to go to Australia. It and the Oxalis pes-caprae, both of which I sent to Pete and they have probably populated Kent by now...

Yeah, the Lysimachia does look like it's going to need to be kept in check on a regular basis. This is fine though, I have a whole fence it can crawl along, and it will certainly brighten the garden up. :D I plan on moving it away from everything else, so it just has the fence to contend with...

Oh no, here comes a lundy cabbage or a cheddar pink :ntwrth:

Also agree, it will run everywhere in no time :(

Oil seed rape is a very common seed in purchased bird seed. It comes up all over the place in my garden.

They were De Rigueur in the 1970's!

Thanks to all inputs so far - Ive focused in on Cotoneaster and looking at the drawing in the 'Expert' book its leaf shape looks like Cotoneaster salicifolius. I think I will give it a week or so and move it to somewhere else. The 1st one is still unknown so I will give that a few more weeks...

I like to use the flowers..I preserve the flowers with egg white & then in sugar! Candied borage flowers have been used for years as cake decorations

You removed all the shrubs and plants from a rented garden?! :D :D Sorry, but genuine mega LOLS!But why?! LOL! :DI see some golden euonymous (maybe ?) on the left a couple of choisya on the right.
