A couple of ID's please

What are these please?

The pointed leaf one in the foreground, with the second picture a (poor) attempt at showing more of the plant.





And this fellow that has spent too much time hiding behind a lavatera - possibly a hibiscus?

 

Well, that has to be a first - I don't think I have stumped GC before

 

Ah, I never even considered a dahlia, but yes it could very easily be a dahlia as I had tons of them in that border; I did think I had lifted all of the tubers, but it is quite likely that I didn't.

I suppose it could be one of the Bishop's Children ones. @pete appears to be bang one with the hibiscus - I did remember buying one, I bought a peonie at the same time, and I planted them both and promptly lost sight of them.

The hibiscus is clearly in the wrong place I think - is it too late to move it this year now? What is the best course of action to bring it up to scratch?

I will keep tabs on the possible dahlia and see what it does - never had either of the abutilon or an astilbe in the garden (not that I would complain if they had arrived by themselves)

 

Do astilbe self seed then? I definitely haven't bought any (although nearly did this year as I like them)

 

Oooh, just had a thought - if I like a plant enough and consider buying some, can I wish it into being a freebie/volunteer
