Small leaf, very compact.


Don't know - Cotoneaster?

These seem to be multiplying. Leaf starts out green, quite quickly
becomes variegated and I think ends up with a little white pointed
flower. Invasive?


Hottuynia. Not exactly invasive but spreading, yes.

Polygonatum x hybridum aka Solomon's Seal - gorgeous thing.

Not at all sure. Lysimachia punctata, perhaps?

These look like the beginnings of gladioli. There were just a few
isolated ones in the garden last year so I'm wondering how such a
tightly clustered bunch will fare. Will these all flower or will they
die in the crush? Or are they not gladioli?


I think they're more likely Crocosmia which (if I'm right) spread madly
and do need dividing up from time to time. They take over given half a
chance.

A lot of patches of this on old walls. Tiny little flower.


Charming little thing called snapdragon. No idea of its real name.
It's a wildflower.

- thanks for any help...
