    Afternoon all!

    One of my wait and see plants has turned into a beautiful something... Trumpet lily maybe? Crocus? Should be dead easy for you guys.

    But my question is what are the two things growing next to it?

    They're tall but no signs of flowering yet....

    And the second one:

    What do we think?

    They're so close to the main plant I doubt previous owners would have deliberately set it out like that.

    Looks like a weed to me, somekind of willow herb perhaps.
    The white one is Arum lily correctly known as Zantedeschia aethiopica.

    1. Agree with Pete......Zantedeschia aethiopica.

    3. Looks like a young Buddleja.

      The plant at the back looks like a Sunflower.
