Plant Identification
Hi Folks,
Could you help identify some plants in my new garden so I can figure out how to care for them please? Have to confess I've been pretty busy with the move and the plants, especially the pots have been left to their own devices. Many Thanks
1/ This is growing in a pot -

And a close up of it -

2/ The ceramic pot this is in is totally full of water, clearly has no drainage, but maybe the plant likes it? There's been no shotage of sun and rain and it's been totally uncared for the last month and it looks just the same as it did originally-

And a close up -

3/ Surviving uncared for -

4/ Lovely blue flowers -

Close up

5/Is This dead? It has a label, it's a snapdragon.

6/Shrub

7/ Removed an old rickity table and found this beneath -

8/ And this hiding in a very shady corner -

9/ In the same shady corner -

10/ Ground cover type of plant -

11/ small apple tree? (and stake)

12/ Sorry hard to see black seed/flower heads -

And another the same growing through another plant -

13/ Random shrub -

1. Lysimachia nummularia aurea
2. Achmea fasciata
3. Hoya?
4. Campanula Elizabeth Oliver
10. Ajuga reptans burgundy glow
12. Welsh poppy0 -
6. Choysia?

You are never too Old to learn new tricks.:rotfl:0 -
I think no.2 may be a bromeliad, if it is then it is usually seen as a house plant in this country.0
-
1. Creeping Jenny (as per Reen)
3. possibly Stephanosis?
4. Campunala
5. Its a snapdrogon and has seed heads (with masses of seeds). Also looks very dry. Remove seed heads and water? May recover. Even better plant it in soil.
6. Skimmia?
7. hellebore - probably orientalis
8. possibly rhododendron
9/ Weigilia? (SP)
10 Aruga
11. Apple
12 - Welsh poppy, another self seederIf you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
6. Pieris?
9. Fushia?Ditch 100 in January Challenge 100/100

6-definitely pieris
7) hellebore0 -
Could 13 be a spirea?0
-
3 - Honeysuckle or clematis. They can have very similar leaves, but very different flowers which will help identify the plant.
4 - agree with others that this is a Campanula
6 - Pieris
7 - Looks like a peony. It should start dying off (but will grow back from the ground next year with beautiful flowers)
8 - As suggested by RAS I agree that this is possibly a rhododendron0 -
I think 8 is cherry laurel - it looks too glossy and bright green to be a rhododendron.
nb. I suggest you don't let no. 1 escape from its pot or it will be everywhere!0
