Amateur seeks green thing identification... (Photo heavy)

*some names added*

Hello all,

Plants are popping up in my garden (moved in in August) and it's becoming increasingly obvious that I have no idea what most of them are. Can anyone help with these?


1. Got a couple of these: ............................... 2. A few of these:
*Aquilegia* ................................................. *Peony rose / Bleeding Heart




3. Dunno what this odd thing is: ......................4. One of these:
.................................................................*Jacobs ladder*



5. This is peeping out from the base of a shrub ...6. I've got lots of this stuff. Is it a weed? It's
thing that has been flowering for months now. ....pretty much everywhere.
Should it be moved? .......................................*Hardy geranium* Some of it might have to go ;0
*Pyracantha* (Think it will be ok under another
massive plant? When I say massive I mean about 12ft)


This is the end of my garden, where two sort of climbing plants are very close together (too close?) I cut the one on the right back and it's not doing much at the moment... I didn't cut the white flowering one, but now it keeps falling off the wall in the wind and I don't know whether to prune it back a bit or just try to re-attach it. (Pic from August, before the wind and the pruning)


7. Close up of white thing

*Jasmine*

8. Close up of other thing... the flowers might be orange but I know the pic isn't clear and I can't remember much about it flowering at the time.


Appreciate any help Thanks in advance!

1st is an Aquilegia
Weeds in middle are hardy geraniums
White thing might be jasmine

All well worth having

I think the green thing below the purple flower is Jacob's Ladder - either blue or white flowers, but I could be wrong.

No. 5 might be a Japanese quince thing - forgot the name

I'm no expert by any means but number 2 looks like a peony rose to me, welll it looks like what I think is a peony rose growing in my gardens?

Anyone else care to add comments to identify some of these plants??

1. is aquilegia, 6. is geranium

Is 7 very fragrant? It might be jasmine?

I recognise 2, but can't place the name atm :rolleyes: Edit - arkonite is correct

Is 5 pyracantha

I agree with PP - 5 is a Pyracantha - didn't notice the thorns

4 looks like Jacobs ladder which is a very pretty plant and I think 7 is Jasmine too

Wow, so quick

Yes, I remember 7 being fragrant - been trying to find a better pic of the flowers, I recall they were 5 petalled (helpful huh )

I think I cut back the other climber because I thought it was a honeysuckle. Turned out it wasn't quite as voracious!

No 1, Aquilegia
No 2, Dicentra Spectabalis, Bleeding heart{Pink/White heart shaped flowers}
No's 6,7,8,Hardy Geraniums
No 4, Jacobs Ladder

Jack's_mummy

No1 - aquilegia
No 2 - bleeding heart
No 3 maybe a drumstick primula (primula denticulata sp?)

No5 is like my hedge out the front but no idea what it is called

I'm all excited now because I knew some

Yep, 4 is Jacob's ladder. Does 3 have tall flower spikes? It might be verbascum, or it might be a thistle weed.

Too soon to say It's a funny thing... it's been growing up like a tightly packed flower clump. If you knock it, a few bits of purple flower get detatched.
