    5. This was a sneaky one, as I didn't know what it was called. Thanks to those who identified it for me!

    It is harder than you might think aaron.

    The last one is a lysimachia ( firecracker I think)-it should have small bright yellow flowers in the summer. I have shed loads of it-it is very very vigorous.

    Course I could be wrong-it wouldn't be the first time.........or the fiftieth for that matter :)

    Well you have got me beat - Aaron
    1 I don't think I have anything that looks like that
    2 Could be Anemone coronaria, with its finely divided foliage and flower buds already.
    3 Looks familiar - but nothing springs to mind
    4 I have some Veronica that very nearly looks like that - but not quite
    5 I think they are turnips!

    #1. Red Orache
    #2.. Well I found the name of my Euphorbia it is I think..... Fen's Ruby... Euphorbia cyparissias

    #3 Could be Golden Rod.

    #4 Creeping Jenny or Silene, but it looks so familiar &I have even just walked around my garden just not sure

    #5 I think is Acanthus Molli.... or Ajuga or Bugle... or Salvia perpurea.? :scratch:

    Not bad! :gnthb:

    1. looks like emerging Lysimachia clethroides, but can be anything in this stage... :p

    2. I have a similar one that brought from the wood where deeply dissected Eranthises abound... But possibly it's Rather an Anemone, this is their season...

    3. No idea, really...

    4. Mentha?

    5. Lysimachia 'Firecracker' - At least mine will look the same in a week's time or so...

    That No.2. doesn't let me rest... Can it be a simple Pulsatilla montana? It'd be just in time for your garden....

    Pooped in for five minutes, just out of curiosity.... Waaaahhhh... :dh: It's hard to predict how difficult an ID can be... I wouldn't have recognised one or two but this much? I don't have some of these in the garden, but what I do have, mine look so very different from yours! Why? E.g. Eryngium, Cranesbill, Lythrum, Rudbeckia, but I think a lot of practice will improve it sooner or later anyway, thanks a lot for the fun!

    Could we have some more, pls? :idea:
