    Good morning!

    this is my second summer in my garden and I have lots of lovely plants that I have no idea what they are! I was hoping someone could please help me with this.

    The first one is a beautiful pink flower that flowered about 3 days ago - it now has another 3 flowers, but the 1st flower has dropped! If someone knows how to move it and when Id be most gratefull - its in the lawn to be!

    The green with straight leaves in pot - I have a number of these round the garden. I thought they could be iris but they havent flowered and they didnt last summer either.

    The other 2 I have no idea on and an info would be great!

    Thanks for any help x

    ps - I wont be upset if any are weeds!

    Hi sksholden & [​IMG].. Well I think I have 3 IDs for you..
    1. Poppy.. Let finish flowering & gather seed heads when going brown & put in a paper bag to catch the seeds when they burst out..

    2. Not sure does look very Iris like just not sure which one..

    3. Foxglove.. Again gather seeds & scatter if you want more..

    4. Mollis or Ladies Mantle.. Clump forming & will self seed just pull up the plants you don't want..:thumb:

    Thank you so much for the answers! Great to know and even better they arent weeds....

    Next silly question - do iris's have a flower?

    Thanks!
