1. I quite like it, do I move it (it's between a rose and a strawberry) or try and dig it up - again, my OH has made numerous eviction attempts, but it keeps popping up again!

2. Mystery seedling. I labelled the pot as a geranium, but I must've got mixed up! Could it be passiflora?

3. I was running my slot on the plant stall at our school fete and made a few purchases. I liked this a lot, but no idea what it is and therefore where to plant it!

4. One of the many inappropriately-placed trees we inherited. I plan to move / get rid of it, but we don't know what it is. I'm guessing some sort of nut?

Thanks, as usual.

    I'm certainly no expert but first one looks like a peony and second could well be passiflora

    Thanks all.

    I thought that 1. looked like a peony.

    I'm surprised it seems to be doing so well, given I thought it liked to be alone with it's thoughts. It's right next to a rose and under a well-established strawberry plant.

    Hibiscus huh? I wouldn't have guessed that!

    I'm not complaining but... (that should be a new thread!) the previous owners planted up loads of trees seemingly at random and really close together.

    This year we uncovered a magnolia too! Now it's freed from the shade of the bay tree it's got worryingly large, right next to the fence. I was advised we could still just about move it last month, but then we had all those storms, so I didn't, so it's going to have to stay there until next year. I love magnolia, so I want to try and move it properly without killing it, but if it gets much bigger, it'll topple the fence.

    The hibiscus is a lovely surprise, although again, very badly placed. It's in shade for a start and completely swamped by the cherry and bay trees next to it.

    Weirdly they'd then completely left an entire raised bed empty at the back (see my wall of shame pics) which has lovely soil and is sheltered and in fun sun. Now trying to reclaim it of brambles and bindweed.

    My acer's got some lovely new growth on it BTW Aym :)
