Plant IDs please - worrisit ?
Dear all,
A few more plant IDs if you'd be so kind.... Some of these I want to get rid of, others I just want to know what they are. Sorry - I don't know much about plants.... Photos are he 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 ? |

Has tall creamy pink flower heads. Is a nice plant that grows into a big clump (as it has done on yer rockery). Next suspect is a horrible looking thing.

Plant IDs please - worrisit ?
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.

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 |

441 Coarse veined leaf =Lamium (dead nettle) Dead nettle family, but I think it's the red flowered hedge woundwort, Stachys sylvatica, which smells something horrid when you pull it up. White flower looks like a forget-me-not (a white one) It's a bedstraw - if you look closely, it has 4 petals not five, and you can see several of the characteristic whorled leaves - 1in to the L and 0,5 inches down, for example. I don't know what the abundant shoots which fill up most of the photo are. -- Kay |
