Identification Area

It appears there's more than one variety of Bullace, inluding Golden (AKA 'White'), that grows hereabouts (although most people have never seen it), and there's also 'Black' Bullace which could be the one in your image. And there's others, including some hybrids, and it's not help by locals who...

Couple of persicarias here with agastaches,,heleniums, anemones

Hi 2nd-bassoon ,It's a Plumbago ( common name Leadwort ) . Probably P. Auriculata .

Wow! I echo M's words wholeheartedly. Lovely job!

Hi @HarryS - sorry, by 'seen it done' I mean on Youtube . Many years ago, when I used to watch 'Groundforce', Charlie Dimmock always used fibreglass fatsia leaf fountains. They don't seem to make those now (shame) but there are plenty of people doing it with cement. And T Rex leaves are...

You probably aren't eating enough of it.

There are some great specimens of eucryphua in the Edinburgh botanic gardens - it's s fantastic plant

Looks similar foliage to Geranium macrorrhizum ; a rapidly colonising species .

Thank you Silver Surfer and Heucherella, that was a quick response.

They're Centauria Montana . Perennial Cornflower , they're a good perennial ( not a weed ), flowers with a big flush around April/May and then if you keep deadheading them they'll flower on and off all Summer. They also come in shades of purple, pink and white.

Yikes, if you need to take such action in Dorset, @strongylodon , I certainly will here!!Ah well, forewarned is forearmed, as they say!

Thanks for the replies . I spotted a much larger version in a garden about 2 miles from here, so maybe a seed came from there. Its very pretty but Bees and Butterflies have no use for it, so probably not going to keep it.

Springs up here from time to time, There are others less likely to self seed.

@SimonZ looks like Cow parsley Anthriscus sylvestris flowers from spring onwards and yes the insects do love it..

Defo a P,um or Greengage in first pic and agree with above ID of second plant..

Well maybe it is just excess moisture

First one is a walnut tree.Second one is cotoneaster, probably Cotoneaster franchetti.

No 2 looks like Lobularia to me. Formerly known as Alyssum or Sweet Alyssum.

Lol haven't found any of that "special" weed growing like we did this time last year!!!!

I suspect that the label is wrong. A photo or two would be helpful please.
