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?

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?

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

- thanks for any help...

Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon'
yes invasive but not too nasty;
not my cup of tea; very gaudy; likes damp or even wet conditions.

And your choices look good; this is bad form; we surely should have a
row about this somehow.

It obviously knows it's in Normandy. No, I'm not sure I'm entirely
struck on it, either.

Hottuynia. Not exactly invasive but spreading, yes.

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

Not at all sure. Lysimachia punctata, perhaps?

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.

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

Yes. The modern hybrids seem to be taller.

I recognise this but don't know its name. Isn't it some form of
lonicera? It doesn't flower and is very boring!

is Lonicera nitida, or the other lonicera that looks just like it but
is a bit more shruby.

Montbretia is one type of Crocosmia, at least in my usage.

My first thought was privet, but your description doesn't agree. Maybe
privet honeysuckle (Lonicera pileata).

I agree with the identification as Houttuynia.

I'm not trained up in the differences between Convallaria and
Polygonatum, but Polygonatum multiflorum, Solomon's seal as suggested
elsethread seems a sensible suggestion.

Looks like a willow-herb (Epilobium), but I'm not completely sure.

Possibly montbretia (Crocosmia x crocosmiflora); monbretia do develop
into dense clumps.
