    ..... what the following plants are:

    1 This mauve flowered plant appeared in among a tub of lilies. I potted it up because at first it looked like a hosta but it has developed to this

    2 These pink flowers were given to me by a friend as seedlings but neither of us know what they are

    Sorry for multiple photos but I have not been around here for a while and had to relearn (still learning) to post pictures

      Welcome back Sally :sign0016:

      First one looks like a Common Spotted Orchid, but the flower is a bit broad at the base.

      Second one is a small-leaved salvia of some kind, I think.

          Thanx for the welcome back.:ThankYou:
          I s'pose I have the birds to thank for this, gifting me with this seed in their travels:)
          I have potted it up to keep as it is soooo pretty.
