Self heal Evening primrose either Great Willow herb or Hairy willow herb

The Berberis looks just like the one we have: Berberis thunbergii Helmond Pillar

Thanks everyone!

Maybe Microsoft will soon be working on a Smellovision Windows version. The failed quest to bring "Smell-O-Vision" to the internet

Totally agree @Trunky as I have some near the pond.. Lovely but spreads everywhere underground if you are not careful @PEANUTPARADISE its roots are really voracious..

(And yes, Salvia lovers, that is a Salvia Hot lips in the background....)

You can divide it or take cuttings too.....easy peasy

I think its a weed, if it is a "plant", and looks like that, I'd still say it was a weed.

They clump up beautifully and I just carefully devide them up at the end of the summer I use a sharp knife to cut through them replant the new clumps where you want them.. That way they have the Autumn /winter to get established again.. You can do it in early spring but they usually struggle...

He He!. Dear Woo you got it spot on. Many congratulations. No harm on checking before you answer. I do it all the time...and double check spellings/find links. I was sitting back ..pleased that you got it so quickly.

I love Lantana camara. Never seen it ibn UK. Just not hot enough here.

Looks like Lythrum salicaria...common name purple loosestrifelythrum salicaria - Google Search

Ah, ha, I thought of that one too, but my mind has to go back to pre-2001 when I lived in the UK and had such houseplants. Don't have any here as houseplants grow outside but different species. Pleased you solved it.

At least the galls on your grapes are the same colour @pete , these gross things are fluorescent yellow!Been reading and apparently there is NOTHING that can be done about it :(

Thankyou so much, I will be going to the garden centre next weekend, can’t wait now

Yes, I think it's just a common name for sedums. I only grow Sedum spectabile (commonly called Ice Plants) and a low-growing one whose species name I don't recall ATM. Pollinators absolutely love the spectabile, there are some really nice ones with purple foliage available but I've heard that...

You can tidy up the dead stems and foliage when they no longer look attractive. The dried blooms retain quite a nice shape until storms whack them up. The plants will make new rosettes in spring.
