Identification Area

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.

This is a Hawthorne seedling i found, yours has shiney leaves so would say yours is Blackthorn..

As it has obviously been there for some time, there is a good chance you will finish it off if you move it ....mind you, I think it could be worth investing in a new plant anyway, so why not cut your losses and take a trip to the garden centre. It would give you a bit of space to do some soil...

Second one is a Corkscrew Bay Tree.The first one is a Gladiolus

They are not super-common and I reckon you'd have to be on the lookout for unusual plants to spot one.

Well, it appears I do now! There could well be, as there are loads of trees in the back gardens around here - we get loads of wildlife visitors too, mostly as we encourage them - we don't encourage them to plant stuff though

Sorry mate it's a bit too blurred to say.

The first one looks like penstemon and the 2nd one definitely an eryngium. Bees love the latter, but be careful, they self-seed all over your lawn.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hi guys :-D I googled honeysuckle and found this photo, it looks like the leaves and the stems. If it flowers like this I'll be well chuffed ;-) all the photo has on it though is the location, in Italy lol maybe that's why it's not flowered!! Should I feed it and see if that helps it flower, or...

Ah, not a laurel then. You need @Silver surfer
