Hi does anyone know what these two spiky things are, please?
Hi There!!
First question = what are these plants both called? Second = Is it worth raising the "bush" from seeds? Third = Will the other more feathery plant actually flower at some point before it swamps our garden and swallows it whole!!?? Fanx Glenys Sheffield UK |

The plant in the first two pictures is a broom, most likely Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) but possibly Spanish Broom (Spartium junceum). They are easily cultivated from seed and are fast growers once established, but they are considered invasive in many locales. The plant in the third picture looks familiar but ID evades me.

You can grow it from the seeds but the subsequent plants may not be the colour of the parent plant due to gentics of which ever plant the pollen came from ? Cant help with the plant on the right but a guess would be some type of cosmos (looking at the foliage). Lannerman. |

It might be Cosmos bipinnatus. (I see Centaurea cyanus, Eschscholtzia californica and what might be Helianthus annuus in that photo, so it looks like an annual seed mix).
