ID please

Got these out of a tub of what looked to be dying plants but they sprung back to life and compared to the state they were in I am amazed.





And I think this is my little girls "faerie tree"-she leaves her letters to them under it. I think it is a willow of some sort but don`t know which kind.






And lastly excusing the dodgy cameraman what is this-please don`t say weed I know that already, but it looked so pretty I have left it. Trouble is what is it-a vetch? or a kind of willowherb? Can`t find anything in my collins wildflower that looks anything like it and am intrigued

 

Piccies are too small for me sorry, blind as a mole, I am!

 

Sorry, its my fault I`ll try again


















please work...............................

 

Hi Lollipop. The first picture looks like a Plectranthus. Plectranthus argentatus possibly. Its got brittle stems and is not very hardy. But a nice foliage plant. http://www.californiagardens.com/Plant_Pages/plectranthus_argentatus.htm

I don't know the second one, and there is so little of the third one that it might be difficult to identify.

I think the last one is a Shasta daisy (Leucanthermum superbum). http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/473.shtml

 

Hello lollipop,

I think the first one looks like Helichrysum Silver - Licorice Plant. Usually sold as a basket plant.

Thanks so much everyone,

This will certainly help me, with their care.

 

Marley, I suspect you are right on the Helichrysum - I have never grown it.

And you are probably right on the Ox Eye daisey too - Leucanthemum vulgare. I said Leucanthemum superbum, which is normally what you see in gardens. I thought it was a small and weedy specimen and Leucanthemum vulgare is the wild flower relation, which probably seeded itself.

 

Hi All,

Thanks again, I am rubbish at id-ing stuff.

Just had a quick flick through a wild flower book I picked up today-maybe the red plant is a spear leaved willowherb?

I know its mad going so obsessive about what looks like a weed but i thought it was pretty so left it alone.

i don`t weed all that often because I like this sort if stuff-that and freebies from the bird doings.
