• The one ending in 034 is a golden spirea - I have one stays small but flowers every year
• 5th one on your photo list is a Spiria. 4th one might be a geranium .
• Many thanks to you all. Every bit of info gratefully received. Now I can go away and do some research and decide which plants to keep and which to dig up. They are everywhere!! Pat
• https://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...g?t=1212612258 Looks like a penstemon
  https://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...g?t=1212612423 looks like one of the Magallenica Fuchsias
  https://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...g?t=1212613034is a golden spirea as already mentioned.
  The others I'm not certain about.
• Been over to my son's this afternoon and he's got a vine/climber in the garden that seems to be very invasive and possibly a potential problem. It looks familiar but I can't think what it's called off top of my head.
  The leaves are quite large and what I'd call "goosefoot" shape - like a heart with a deep cleft where it joins the stem, if that makes sense
  There appears to be lots of buds forming but no visible "flowers" as yet.
  Any suggestions as to what it might be please?
• Peter_the_Piper : Thank you. More names for my list.
• Bindweed?

  Use some paint on weedkiller asap if it is! I had loads last year, thought i had got rid of it before digging over but still pulling 3-4 new shoots out a day! And top of my garden is overrun with it
• That might well be a strong possibility!!! Thank you
  I had a feeling it might be some kind of weed when I first looked at it but couldn't quite place what it was even though it looked familiar. The way it has taken a hold right around the garden makes me think it's more likely to be this too.
  When I spotted it on the trellis I initially wondered if it might be some type of clematis (do any have similar shaped leaves?) but then noticed the extent to which it had spread and I don't think a clematis will grow to that extent!
  I'll definitely know for sure when the flowers open
• Sorry, but my camera isn't working at the moment so I can't supply any piccies. I will do my best to describe, though
  I keep seeing this plant in gardens as I am walking the dogs, and I think they are so pretty and would like to get some for my own garden, but I just can't seem to find out what it's called! Can anyone help me?
  The plant is ablout 18'' - 2ft high, and is a mass of green leaves, a bit like the leaves of an iris. The flowers are small yellow flowers that bloom up the flower stalk, and when they finish there is a little seed ball left behind that appears to turn dark brown. The plant looks like it clumps as it grows.
  I have probably done a very bad job of describing this, but if anyone has any ideas as to what I'm talking about, please shout.
  Thanks
• This is called Yellow Loosestrife.. to be honest I have never heard the name before....
  Is this the one?
• Thank you tanith, but no, not the one. The flowers are pale yellow and the leaves are flat and a little like iris leaves. Thinking about it, the height may be one foot to eighteen inches, rather than two foot.
  I am google imageing like mad but can't find it! It has to be common as it seems to be in loads of gardens.
• Hi. where exactly have you seen them, beach, park or woods? If you name the place someone might pop along and have a look.
• Google image came up trumps in the end! It is a Sisyrinchium striatum. I have never heard of it before, wonder if it has a common name?
  Thanks for your help
• This one :confused:
  No idea what it's called, sorry
• Thats the one, PenPen
• Common Name: Sisyrinchium
  Genus: Sisyrinchium
  Species: striatum
  Cultivar: 'Aunt May'
  Skill Level: Beginner
  Exposure: Full sun
  Hardiness: Hardy
  Soil type: Well-drained/light, Dry, Sandy
  Height: 50cm
  Spread: 30cm
  Time to divide plants: March to May
  Flowering period: July to August
  This unique plant with evergreen, iris-like, cream and grey-green striped foliage, builds up in time into small, upright clumps. In late spring and early summer, it produces spikes of 1cm (1/2in) pale cream flowers dotted along upright stems. Fully hardy, the plant enjoys hot, dry conditions but tolerates partial shade in well-drained, moist soil. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant. It looks superb grown informally in gravel gardens or between paving slabs, and is best gathered in isolated clumps on its own, combined with large cobblestones or similar architectural features.
  Its looks very pretty ... its common name is 'Aunt May' they seem to have gotten the flowering period a bit wrong or maybe its down to global warming lol
