Solved Plant ID

Hello all,

I've just moved house and am trying to ID two plants - I hope someone can help! The first looks a bit like a pink crocosmia (and is in full flower now), and the second looks like a very overgrown cotoneaster (it has a honeysuckle running through it). The cotoneaster-like plant is devoid of berries, which is making me wonder if it's something else?

Thanks for your help :-)

2nd pic looks like a Lonicera

 

Hi Jiffy,

Many thanks for your suggestion - I think you've hit the nail on the head with the Lonicera! Great stuff! :-)

 

The first two pic are Lonercia nital with another family member running through it honeysuckle.
The bottom pic is a hesperantha

 

Hi Perki,

Thanks so much for completing the set! The hesperantha are absolutely lovely at the moment - now I know what they are, I'll definitely invest in a few more :-)

Thanks again for all your help!

 

1. Probably Lonicera pileata...flowers tiny.... easy to miss.
If you are lucky you may get small purple berries.

2. Agree Hesperantha coccinea major...previously called Schizostylis.

Hi Silver surfer!

Thank you for the links - they're really helpful :-) I had another look at the Lonicera pileata this evening and it does have a few very vibrant purple berries - I'll tidy it up and see how it goes next year.

Thanks to everyone for their help :-)
