4 mystery plants - help please!
 

Would love to know what these plants are. Any ideas anyone???

This one seems to be a tree cutting - I tries to get a bit of the bark on the
photo

This is a really bad photo but if you go to the bottom its a bit clearer. It
has an unusual smell when the leaves are crushed. Its about 2 ft and it wasn't
there lastyear.

This one comes up every year but I've never noticed any flowers on it. It grows
about 2-3ft

http://www.members.aol.com/golddustr...Whatsthis4.jpg
This one I would love to find out about. It is probably a bulb. You can see its
leaf on the left. Its flower head is about 2.5 to 3 inch across

Feverfew? White daisy flowers when it comes out - can be single of
double. Seeds itself around with abandon. THere's a yellow leaved form
which is even nicer. Take the flowering stem out once it's flowered and
leave a neat little clump of foliage . Treat it as one of those things
you leave around to fill gaps but pull up if you want to grow something
there.

Possibly paeony. They're pernicketty things and won't flower unless
they're happy where they are.

Ah, I know that one! Allium moly, an ornamental onion. Pretty well
behaved and well worth having around.

Don't know what the scale is but it looks like the Lovage I have just
planted. I didn't know that it was a perennial though.

Allium moly?

Can't help with the first two I'm afraid.

I think the second one is feverfew. It stinks like heck, and has a white
daisy in summer. I call it a weed, but I've seen it for sale in garden
centres and I think it can be used as a medicinal herb.

OK - my wild guess is that it's a really healthy forsythia. I'm basing
this on the texture of the bark and the paired leaves. The stems and
leaves are usually a bit yellower, but I've got one where they are that
darker colour, and they do take easily from cuttings.

feverfew, I'd guess, like everyone else.

If Kay's wrong and it's not a peony, I'd guess some sort of damp-loving
buttercup or marsh marigold type thing. What's the soil like around there?

These identifications are worth what you paid for them ;-)

Yes - I'd go along with that. I knew it was familiar but I couldn't
remember what!

Not segmented enough leaves

or marsh marigold type thing.

Marsh marigolds have circular leaves like giant celandines.

this looks like feverfew - it has pretty daisy like flowers - some people
call them weeds but I really like them and have planted lots - it is easy to
grow and looks pretty for ages. If you cut it back in autumn when it dies
down it will come back next year. Sometimes if you cut the flowers off after
the flower dies it will reflower.
