    First two photos are the same plant. Very large shrub.
    Second photo is a pond plant. Looks like an iris of some sort.
    Third is a Hebe but anyone know what type? Just flowered.
    Fourth havent got a clue, hasnt flowered yet.

    Thanks in advance! :ThankYou: 2013-06-19 19.14.28 (480x640).jpg 2013-06-19 19.14.23 (480x640).jpg 2013-06-19 19.13.37 (480x640).jpg 2013-06-19 19.13.17 (480x640).jpg 2013-06-19 19.13.01 (480x640).jpg 2013-04-28 13.29.23 (480x640).jpg

    Third one looks like an Iris of some sort, sorry but I don't know it's variety.

    Last one is Hellabore Fetodis I believe, quite a niff around the plant if it's anything like mine!

    I say this as it's common name is The Stinking Hellabore.

    And it does! But the floral display more than makes up for the smell.
