What are these plants?

polbpolb Posts: 198
Hi,

We have a bed which looks full of perennial plants and I'm trying to work out what they are as we didn't plant them!

Does anyone have any idea? Unfortunately I can't remember what colour the flowers are! We're in the process of moving all the plants from this are and would like to know what they are before we do!


A - We have lungwort in the area but these leaves are more yellow and so far no flowers - any thoughts?

B - This grows very tall - looks messy to me but does have nice flowers which I think were either pinks or blues...sorry can't remember

C - Not so tall as B - can't remember if this one flowers...

D - Yellow/green leaves - climber of some kind?

E - (Above the letter 'E') yellowy leaves, acer like leaves - not sure if this flowers?

F - (Above the letter 'F') Sorry its hard to make it out from this photo but it runs upwards above the letter 'F'.

If anyone has any ideas of what they are that would be really helpful.

Many thanks :)

    D. Golden hop ... humulus lupulus aurea ...attractive but can be rampant. Spreads by suckering underground. 

    C. Common hogweed

    B. Looks like foxgloves 

    A. Looks like pulmonaria. 

    Cant see E and. F very clearly.

    Wow! Thank you!

    Yes D certainly seems to be rampant and does pop up elsewhere!
    We have Pulmonaria in the area and its darker than these ones.. do you think this is a different variety?

    Thank you!

    There’s quite a few different pulmonarias ... love them 😊

    ah ok! Do they all flower?

    Oh yes!  Gorgeous 😊  and they’re good early nectar sources for the early bumble bees at the beginning of the year 💕

    That sounds good. I'll find a good spot for it then as I think this was being swamped by the other pulmonarias I've just moved. Thanks again :)

    E. Looks like aconitum.

    ah yes it does look like the same leaves..I'll move that one as well then.

    Any thoughts on F?

    I've also come across these two plants which come up each year in abundance! I have been removing them but I'm wondering if they are not in fact weeds??
