I can confirm after all the replies that it does indeed appear to be Hellebore foetidus - aka Bear's Paw or Stinking Hellebore.

I suppose the reason I never thought it flowered was that the flowers were green...... The flowers are tiny and in the centre of the green bracts (the petally things), which stay on when the flowers are over and the seeds form. It's an uncommon british native as well as being grown as an ornamental. -- Kay |

Looks like the previous owner had some plant knowledge and some unusual plants in there. Nukes are on standby for now. I'm going to go in with a smaller tactical assault unit and do some political destabilisation instead ! I have had 4 gardens in the past 10 years and have inherited plants in each case and at first it is all exciting as you wonder what treasures you have inherited. Sadly, most of the treasures turn out to be invasive weeds that have taken the opportunity to run riot between owners. It ends up being very very hard to renovate existing beds. The easiest way long term and by far the most satisfying to look at is to start brand new beds from scratch. You may not have room for it or the best parts of teh garden may already be taken by existing beds so it may not be possible, in which case this advice is useless. If there are nice existing plants, try to dig them out without any weeds or take cuttings and start them off again in teh new beds. Then you can nuke old beds one by one (organise regime change; install puppeet administrations etc). Old beds that have grass, brambles, hungarian bladder weed, broken bottles, rubble etc. can be very very hard work and horribly disappointing as they seem to look tatty no matter what you do. When you start a bed from scratch, you get automatic bare soil and razor sharp edges (having done a lot of digging and clearing which admittedly is hard work; in our case my wife does it; I kid you not; she likes digging). It is easier to plan what goes where and to control weeds, if neccessary by roundup at the start and by digging out roots etc. If you do have old treasures, then on the plus side, it is fun seeing if they are nice or not and seeing what comes up. You can be lucky. Des |

Sorry - that was confusing... I left some earlier ID photos (did you guess
the aquilegia ?) with the new photos. I've "weeded out" the offenders now, and posted the descriptions again below. Thanks for all the answers - looks like most of them identified - except for the tall one..... The first one is two plants growing in a bed. One with coarse leaves, the other with fine leaves and little white flowers. OK - there's more than 2 different plants growing there, but 2 main ones.... http://adm.smugmug.com/gallery/1401195/1/72550441 Next up is a big tall gangly thing that looks as if it's about to flower. Currently the flower tips are about 5 feet high. http://adm.smugmug.com/gallery/1401195/1/72550446 For your pleasure, a thistly/ferny looking plant growing well in the rockery (growing so well, you can't see any rocks....) http://adm.smugmug.com/gallery/1401195/1/72550453 Next suspect is a horrible looking thing. Kind of hempy looking long fingered leaves and an almost segmented looking main stem. Sickly light green flower heads, but never seems to actually flower. This is quite invasive, but is pulled up easily. http://adm.smugmug.com/gallery/1401195/1/72550462 This one is an almost cactussy looking thing. Thick leaves, almost dusty green in colour. http://adm.smugmug.com/gallery/1401195/1/72550471 Finally, a lovely big purple flowering tree/bush/thing. This looks spectacular in is about 10 feet tall. http://adm.smugmug.com/gallery/1401195/1/72550373 Well - any help gratefully received. I have an RHS plant encyclopedia, but can seem to identify anything from it - all the pictures show flowers, and none of these plants have any (apart from the purple tree/bush)..... Is there an online resource anyone knows of to identify plants just from their leaves and shape ? "La Puce" wrote in message oups.com...
