    Hello everyone, I haven't been on the forum in ages. I've recently moved and have several plants in my garden I am unsure of, could anyone help? I am attaching a picture of three different plants.

      1) Primrose

      2) Columbine

      3) A guess, Castor Oil Plant EDIT: Palustris has got it right as Fatsia in post below.

        Thanks - I see that is definitely Primrose and I'll take your word the other is Columbine as after looking it up there are so many different varieties! The last one is actually the size of a small tree with a woody trunk, I've been trying to find something online similar but haven't found it yet. Might be castor oil - thanks!

            I thought 2 might be Alchemilla mollis, but probably wrong.

                I don't think it's Aquilegia (Columbine) or Alchemilla. I don't think it's Oxalis either. It's really annoying as I've seen this growing around where I live. :doh:I wonder if @Zigs can help with the id. :)

                    Looks like Aquilegia to me as well. We used to have 6,000 of them in our garden until the new blight got them :cry3:
