Identification Area

I'm with Blackthorn - Bugle it is. That dog had a lucky escape there Blackthorn - a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

It is a climbing Hydranger,the clematis loves to clib through it.

It's got those downward pointing bristles as well. Seems to fit the description too. Oh well, so the agastache probably did not germinate..........................I'm gonna keep it for now, they aren't ugly plants, and I suppose the bees will like them too.

here are those seeds/weeds now? even more of them now :O

If it only grows about 2 to 3 feet, then I would agree with Lavender. My first thought though was , Philadelphus coronarius aureus.

Thanks Pete ,much appreciatedLooked it up and found Argentine Blue eyed Grass 'Aunt May'

This might help - it runs out of pictures rather early in the ID process, and reverts to technical-ish words, but reversing and trying some alternate routes might work.They have got some "If you got here and its not quite like this it might be XXX" links, but I could do with a bit more of that...

Hi, GLondon and Welcome to GC. Your flower might be a variety of Leucadendron, possibly Salignus or similar, like Proteas they are used floristry. I only thought of this as I had a Leucadendron Safari Sunset but lost it last winter and the name Safari rang a bell. Google it in images and see if...

Yep I think that's it although the one at ventnor botanics is slightly different it had a mixture of very very tiny pink, blue, and maybe yellow flowers? on it (might of been because of the rain washing out the pigments?) but it looked beautiful:luv::luv:This is on my list of "pretty pretty...

I agree with Kandyfloss. No 4 could be a Poppy.

It's Golden Club, Oronticum Aquaticum, likes boggy ponds swamps and lakes. It is a native of North America.

Thanks Aesculus, yes that looks like the critters. They were enjoying the geranium and mating!!I brushed them off into a container and deposited them on the field. I hope they cannot find their way back :D

I don't do any of that! I just say to Mrs shiney, "What's that"? Problem solved :gnthb: :hehe: :rotfl:

So what is it in its natural environment in japan that keeps this weed under control?Also OP, it looks like its coming up everywhere in next doors garden, in the last photo.

Yes i agree the plant is honesty, when the flowers are finished you get silver disc shaped leaves that you can use with other dried flowers.

So I dont need to do regular maintenance like watering every so often to help growth? I was looking inside there and it looked like a browny colour like not very healthy like it is on the outside.

Hello again jestlearin ...Why not join our small 'photography club' ... we're all amateurs and taking photos of the things we love best ....Look here

Hope it's me next!!:yho:

My plan is that long-hours worked in the Spring leads to much less hours being needed in the Summer and Autumn. and thus more time to sit in the garden and enjoy it!

Looks like a Tree Peony seedling to me,something to look forward to it flowering, it will be a test of your dedication.
