    Hi all

    Can anyone help me out with an ID on any of thes? They are cuttings from my mum's garden - I've put them in pots for now till I know what they are and where I should put them.

    Muchly appreciated. IMG_6506.JPG IMG_6509.JPG IMG_6511.JPG IMG_6514.JPG IMG_6518.JPG IMG_6519.JPG

    The plants are quite small and it is difficult to Id most of them at the moment but my hunches would be;

    1. Euphorbia (possibly robbiae)
    2. Reckon the aforementioned Centaurea could be this one.
    3. Agree with Potentilla (cinquefoil)
    4. pass
    5.Hellebore (poss orientalis)
    6.Campanula.

    1 and 5 don't mind a bit of shade.

    1. Could it be Choysia
    3. Looks a lot like a creeping weed I have that creeps across the border and into the lawn. I'm forever digging or ripping it out. It's a B******, and won't go away.

    That will be Potentilla reptans probably gcc, the creeping cinquefoil looks very similar.
    Hopefully Ava has a more ornamentel less pernicious garden version.
