    Also an overall picture of the garden from an upstairs window (if you have an upstairs) would give us an idea of layout. This would help when making suggestions on what to do apart from just identifying.

    I will certainly now take the plants identified off the list, which I will do Wednesday evening hopefully. For a photo overviewing the garden and a plan view of where these plants are, I'll firstly need to get hold of the camera I borrowed, which I'm hoping I can get tommorrow evening aswell.

    Then I will have to taking a measurements and rough sketches of the garden, where the plants are etc. That will be done Thursday hopefully. Again thanks to everyone who so far have helped.

    It's obvious to me that the previous owners wanted to attract bees, insects, butterflies and wildlife in general, to this garden. Which I am certainly in favour of.

    However it seems a little too overcrowded and overgrown, certainly the buddleia, and maybe the clematis aswell. Plus there's seem to be ragwort growing in the area where I removed a delpidated greenhouse, and thorny vines where I think it's stopping Jasmine from growing.

    Does Jasmine bloom though at this time? Perhaps I have time to remove the thorns in time for the Jasmine to bloom. That's another thing though. I'll be around;)

    Hello guys and girls, it's me again. I've now editied the first post in the thread, my initial post, to show links to only plants that I believe have not yet been identified.

    I've also included a couple of photos of the garden, from the front looking down into it, and from the back looking forward. I'll try and get a better photo from up high soon. A plan view sketch showing a good idea of where all these plants lie, will be sorted soon.

    Ok so I think I missed a couple of things. Just to clear up plants that been indentified, am I right saying that the plant below is an aqualegia:

    and that the plant below is a Melianthus Major:

    Lastly, I forgot to put these plants up. Does anyone know what they are?

    Many thanks again. Will try to get a sketch of the garden and where the plants are situated, once the weather's cleared up. Hopefully soon, although I don't feel confident. How the weather can change!

    Pretty sure the first two are aquiliega
    The next two ARE melianthus major

    The next three are a bit more difficult, the first looks like a white version of bluebell, the next could be teasel but somehow I dont think so, and the last could be berginia.
