(last time i asked it seemed to cause trouble so no fighting please...)

lots of stuffs popping up in my garden (first spring in this house so no idea whats been previously planted)

Plant 1: (could be a weed....)



Plant 2: (theres quite a few of these popping up in the boarder and in the middle of the lawn!)






Plant 3: (theres two of these, ones pinky-orange the others a rather wicked blood red, not shown)




Plant 4: (looks rather sad...)



Plant 5: (theres a few of these dotted about the wall, would love to take cuttings or whatever to make lots more....)

Shouldn't be much argument with this lot 'cos even I could have a good stab at naming them all.  But I won't as I am no flower and shrub expert.

Neither am I, but I'm game for a game!

1) dunno
2) Iris
3) antirrhinum (snapdragon)
4) dunno
5) sempervivum

(I'm a bit like this with crosswords; always a couple I can't get!!) 

[DD.]

1 is Red Valerian

[mumofstig]

1, valerian 2, agree flag iris, 3, agree snapdragon, 4, it maybe a small hydrangea ? leaves are similar to mine   5, agree sempervivum (house leek)

Have we solved the puzzle now  

[TheOnlyGothInTheVillage]

Excellent, thanks everyone, can do a bit of research on them now i've got names to work with...

[Hey Jude]

Now I reckon number 4 is a hellebore.................!

[DavidT]

1/ Red Valerian,
2/ Iris,
3/ Antirrhinum,
4/ Possibly Hydrangea.
5/ Sempervivum.

[newatthis]

hi number 4 dont think hydrangea, i think it's sorry names gone but it's the 1 with bright red flowers, that look like golf balls... and i have afew in the garden,  and i forgot the name 

[Yorkie]

Could #4 be a paeony?

[DD.]

Dunno.

If you can't eat it, I'm snookered.

I only knew Red Valarian as somehow it's invaded our garden and I can't get rid of the stuff. Grows in all the cracks.

Ok, here's my ten penn'rth

1, I reckon is a Ragged Robin, considered a weed but pretty.

2, Is a lily of sorts, I'd hazard a Day Lily and should come up with pinky mauve blousy flowers on a stalk, about 3-4 blooms per stalk that wil die after a day. Very pretty and also a bit of a tart as it spreads!

4, Is definately a Helibore - Christmas Rose, this will produce a papery type bloom in autumn to Christmas and will be either shaded along its petals anything from green to a deep red, they come in all sorts of colours from white through to the red.

If you want a darn good plant bible, treat yourself to a Readers Digest Encyclopeadia of Plants, mine has been a godsend since my parents got me one (they got fed up with me borrowing theirs!)

Hope we've helped, xxxxxx

[DD.]

Sorry, you may be right with 4 - but 1 is definately Red Valerian and 2 is an Iris.
