Still not sure what half the plants are in my garden (I've only been there
three months). I'm sure there's nothing remarkable but I can't seem to find
some of them in my RHS book.

If you're interested, please have a look at the gallery I've set up:

You can leave a comment in the gallery, or post back here.

Thanks in advance.

I suspect 4 isn't a hebe, though I could be wrong. Not easy to tell from the
photo, but it's very low to the ground with rubbery succulent leaves.

1.) Muscari 2.)Anemone and Lysimachia (purple)

That's one that I was absolutely sure about as Aquilegia. Not dissected
enough, and segments too round ended, for either Anemone nemorosa or
blanda (and both would be in flower), and the stem colour looks very
aquilegia. Which means I'd guess the purplish leaves would be Myosotis -
they look too hairy for Lysimachia.

3.)Dead daffodil and Sedum ( Spectabile) 4.)Hebe 5.)Pieris

10 has the overall look of Choisya, but the leaves aren't in 3s.

11.)Buddleia

Some will be a lot easier to id once they have flowers.

Some easy ones to start -
1) grape hyacinth Muscari 2) Aquilegia 3) possibly the young shoots of
Sedum spectabile 8) Bergenia 9) could be a cistus type thing - big
shrubby rock rose 11) possibly Buddleia alternifolia, the one with small
purple flowers scattered the whole length of the stem.

Your description does fit one or two Hebes.
It could be a blue Hypericum but they grow taller.

Yes I agree. I had forgotten that forget me thingies can have that purple

I see. I always think of hebes as big bushy things, since there are several
in the garden.

6) Could be Sarcococca. Has it got any little black berries on it at the
mo? It's hard to tell from the picture.
9) Looks like a Cistus to me too.
10) Are these two separate shrubs? The leaves on the left look different
from the right hand side. I thought the right might be some sort of
Rhododendron or maybe a Pieris.

There are some low growing types. How about Hebe pinguifolia, that has
small bluey-green leaves.

I agree with Pieris for the one on the right. What about Centranthus
ruber (Red Valerian) for the one on the left?

No, not at the moment at any rate.

Yes they're separate. Actually there's a third taller plant behind too. If
you can be bothered and you have broadband, click on the underlined O (next
to SML) to get the very big size and you'll get a better view.

Looking at the large size pic I've changed my mind for that one (sorry,
lol). The leaves have a slightly toothed edge and I think Rupert is
probably right with a Camellia. It has some nicely promising buds
whatever it is.

In the large pic you can see the remains of old stems from last year on
the left hand plant, so it could well be Valerian as Philippe suggests.

ruber (Red Valerian) for the one on the left?

Could be if the leaves are soft. But not if they're leathery. But isn't
it far too early to have that much growth on Centranthus?

What's that underneath the bushes - possibly Corydalis?

If we are on picture 10 then the plant underneath looks a bit like a
geranium.
Looks a bit bold for Corydalis-mine are fairly feathery (blue and white).
Any road--It certainly looks an interesting garden.

Ah. On the big picture that on the left does look like Valerian but it's a
big buga for this time of year (as previously pointed out more eloquently by
Kay)--what area are you in?
The plant (s) behind look like a Magnolia (perhaps) and just a suspicion of
a Japanese Knotweed (dead cane)

geranium.

It does on the standard sized picture, but if you double click on the 0
of 10, you get a giant sized picture, and that shows clearly the leaves
to be dissected into separate leaflets, ie not like a geranium at all
;-)

Looks a bit bold for Corydalis-mine are fairly feathery (blue and white).

Yeah ... but I couldn't think what else it could be.
That's why I asked the question, even though it wasn't one of the plants
asked about.

Hi

Yes I think the no.10 right hand one is a kind of pieris, I have one
very similar in my garden, with lily of the valley type flowers on it at
the moment. And I think the left hand one is something else - it almost
reminds me of fresh new growth of valerian but I am probably wrong!

I would agree with the no.9 cistus/rock rose id as well, we have several
mature ones which look very similar.

I would agree with hebe for no.4, there are loads of different kinds and
the leaves look right for hebe.

No.6 does have the look of rhododendron with the buds on view.

You have some nice plants in your garden, congratulations!

The leaves look like the small yellow ones that grow like weeds (with a
really deep root) ? Perhaps they are not as serrated as the yellow ones.
Is that a bud right in the bottom middle of the picture-looks a bit like a
poppy flower bud.
If it's not the yellow one then it's the very rare one that only I have ever
seen:-)
