Hi folks. It's name that bloom time again.

1. A large shrub.



2. Quite spindly, about 5ft high with deep red flowers. Sorry not a good photo.


3. Another biggy.


4. Low growing weed/herb. About 18" high. Pale green feathery foliage with a lemony (I think) scent. Growing in a crack in some flags.


Obviously not brilliant shots but might be familiar to someone. Thanks for any suggestions.

Picture 4 is Feverfew

3 is Rosa glauca which used to be Rosa rubrifolia before it was re-named.
A species rose with good, coloured foliage, small single pink flowers and good hips.
Can be propagated from seed or cuttings

No1 is a Weigela - not sure which variety

I know they are not peas.

No1 is a Weigela - not sure which variety

You're right but I couldn't remember how to spell it 

[mumofstig]

need a close up of the other one please

Thanks folks. I'll get reading about pruning, etc.

Need to try and whip it all back into shape. Might take a couple of years methinks. I'm going to start another thread in a bit about wisteria pruning.

Any chance of a close up of No2 please?

[poultrygeist]

I'll have to get one when I next go. Hopefully early next week.

Fortunately, none of the others there seem to have a clue about gardening so I can sound really knowledgeable even with my limited abilities !

I'll look out for it --no promises mind

I agree that no 1 is a weigela, possibly "carnival"? Looks like no 2 is a weigela as well, but a different variety.

Better photos of No.2...





And another one for you...

Bit of a jumble but it's a small tree....


Close up of leaves...


As always, thanks for any names.

Looks like No2 is another Weigela - probably Bristol Ruby

[poultrygeist]

Thanks celjaci. You're a star ! 

I must make a plan of the garden so I'll know what they all are come autumn. Any free garden planning software that I can download ?

Save a lot of sketching. I promise I won't do a spreadsheet for it
