A couple of plant/tree identities?

Hi guys, I've come across a few plants that I don't know, can you help at all? [emoji4]

1st mystery tree:


2nd mystery plant:


They look like a maple variety and rhubarb, but I'm not sure?

Thanks!! [emoji1]

 

Maybe a Maple not sure, possibly London Plain not hat clever on trees. Think 2nd looks like Bergenia Cordifolia, evergreen,, common name Elephant Lugs, pink (usually) flowers very early Spring. Some people like it some don't I'm a don't! Maybe Silver Surfer will be along soon, she will know for certain!

 

Tree is a Sycamore, introduced by the Romans to annoy park keepers

 

You need to be careful on the naming here Zigs.
I thought I'd read something like this before.

The Yanks call Plane, sycamore, and I once heard that is true in Scotland, not sure?

Which goes to prove how confusing common names can be.

So Acer psudoplatanus it is.

 

Second one is a Bergenia, can't really tell which one there are quite a few. Its flowers can be white, pink, purple or red in varying shades. Excellent ground cover plant.

 

Yep, best stick with the Romans Psudoplantanus soderiae parkeepius

 

Thanks for the idents - really appreciate it

I think the placement of the Bergenia hasn't been doing it much good, as it's looking quite sickly.. I'll do some reading to see if I can help it out and revive it a bit.

The Acer psudoplatanus seems to be happily growing, so I'll leave it to do it's thing!
