Plant identification and pest help

Fay

Oh I've just been out to the garden and noticed progress on one of the unidentified plants..and a few others! So could I ask for more help again please?

These are the ones which were a few pages back too, that someone suggested could be iris, there are now signs of deep red/purpleish colour on them


A new one that has recently sprung up but looks extremely long-perhaps a climbing plant?




An unknown but pretty shrub with very pretty flowers


Is this a euphorbia, looks like one Month Don had on gardeners world only a different colour?


And finaly-this is a weed isn't it, is it one of the truly awful ones like all of my others??


As always your help and guidance is very much appreciated.

Yes, 1. does look like irises.
2 is probably perennial Pea (Lathyrus sylvestris.)
3 is an Acer, probably with an unpronounceable Japanese name! Start with palmatum dissectum.
4. Could be almost any euphorbia at that stage.
5. Stylomecon? I'm guessing here! When you break a stem does it exude a yellow or orange sap?

Dave you're my garden guru! I've just been and looked at the weed and the sap is bright yellow-is that good or bad?

Not bad anyway. It probably is a stylo-somethingorother.

Have a look at this page:

I'm going for Stylophorum now! I'm sure I grew some once. They can seed around, but weren't invasive for me.

My memory isn't what it was.:o

Fay

Thanks Dave, I shall have a look. I was sure it would be a terrible weed as so many seem to have been sprouting up!

Fay

Back again guys-this time with some unknown's but also a couple of pictures of plants you have all kindly identified that are now growing well.

Unknowns:


Still not much movement to be able to identify this one, but a bit of a sign of growth ( my FIL is convinced this is some terrible invasive weed






There are two unknowns in this picture-that I think are different plants. There is a large shrub at the back which has the remains of flowers from last year on it-the close up pic


Then there is this growing in the foreground just above the acer-which I think is a different plant??


Finally an unknown variety of clematis-would love to identify this so I can prune it correctly. I adore clematis and this is one of about 6 in the garden!


And now a few updates:
Pretty iris growing under the magnolia tree-can I split these or move them (there's a clump further back that look to be suffering from lack of light I think)


Beautiful peonies-about 7 clumps of this in the garden


Perenial cornflower identified by my garden guru Dave!


Wiseria and my little man sat by the pergola-I didn't have this identified but think it's glorious!

I think the clematis is called Nelly Moser, its beautiful.

First one is Lysimachia punctata, which will flower shortly.

No idea about 2. I'm not a guru, but having grown many plants to sell, I recognise those I've had. It looks like cosmos foliage, but it must be something hardy. Scale is difficult to gauge...someone tell me it's not Nigella!:o

Three is a weed, but I've no polite name for it. Get rid asap.

Four could be a verbascum, or foxglove...not sure.

Five & six have me beaten, I think. Five might be Cytisus battandieri,and six a Veronica. See what others think.

Your Clematis is 'Nelly Moser.' Very popular and quite early to flower.

That's it from me.

Fay

I thought it was a nelly moser but on closer inspection I don't think the middle is the same. This one also has a green stripe either side of the pink one. It's really lovely and I spent hours yesterday looking at clematis varieties on the net ha ha

Is nigella bad then? If so it's sure to be it!

Argh, another weed-this one is also all over the garden. I'm beginning to think I should just grow weeds :rotfl:

Thanks guys
