    Hello all,

    Have some plants in my garden that have puzzle me and the neighbours !
    Can anyone identify please??

    I will submit over several posts so I can describe as well as I can about each !

    The first plant got given last year, I placed it in my garden and the leaves laid flat on the ground and remained that way, but this year them flat leaves have took to the sky!

    The plant is now coming on 3 and half ft tall and still growing, no one knows what it is!

    I have took a few photo's to help with the ID !

    Would so appreciate anyone telling me what it is!

    Thanks.

    Ok this is my next unknown.

    My mum scattered some seeds in a section of our garden,
    now I know some weeds (lots actually) have come through but these are standing out and are shouting to me that they are not weeds !!

    Please can someone confirm and ID ?

    Much appreciated!

    Many thanks for your ID of a couple of my plants, I looked at some images of Euphorbia and agree that this is the weed/plant in my garden.

    As it is highly poisonous, I will remove this asap as I have children.

    Many thanks .

    Euphorbia is not poisonous, but the sap is an irritant to skin...to some people. If you remove all the plants in your garden that are poisonous, you'd have very little choice of what to grow.

    No.3 is Willowherb.
    No.4 is Dead Nettle I think, or maybe a Lamium?

    No idea what No.1 is.

    Many thanks for that .

    I read it on Wikipedia which obviously made it sound alot worse than what it actually is !!

    I will remove from my garden anyway, as just needed confirmation this wasn't from plant seeds that my mum had previously scattered.

    Many thanks.


    Number 1 is still very puzzling !!

    No 1 if you add a picture when it flowers it will be easier to identify it.

    I don't know much about plants and am still learning but could it be a comfrey. Again, I guess, picturs of flowers might help
