Two plants I can't identify

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help. I've recently moved into a house with a lovely well established garden but there are some plants I'm not familiar with. Would be grateful for any pointers.
Thanks, Dave

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner

Winter Heliotrope, Lesser Celandine and Daffodils

 

Thanks Zigs! I did get the daffodils bit right tho. ;-)

 

Two of the daffodils are bending over as much to say "Dear God, please say that isn't Lesser celandine!!!"

 

No worries Dave, thought you would have but just wanted to be thorough

 

I was doing a survey at the same time

 

Hi guys. This is what's grown. Is it still lesser celandine or has something else grown through? If it is LC then what can I do to control it? It's heading towards triffid proportions at 2 ft tall!
Thanks, Dave

 

No idea what that is, but it's not any kind of celandine

 

Looks like the leaves of Alstroemeria. Should start flowering soon, once it does it will keep going all summer.

 

For the last photo: Agree with @Trunky They are indeed alstroemeria leaves. They are going to have beautiful flowers. After that, you might like to loosen the block of roots up as they are growing like mad and you will see inches thick of roots. Think you might want to DE-CONGEST the root system.

 

Thanks @alp and @Trunky. Do you think it's likely these have grown through after the celandine or the first identification was wrong? D :-)

 

@Dave The Amateur Afraid you have asked @alp THE AMATEUR .. Don't quite understand the question. Hope some gardener will offer better help. Alstroemerias always have very thick and congested roots after a few years. But they can be separated quite easily. I never bothered to dig them up and when I did, I got the SHOCK of my life.. the root block was about 3 to 4 inches deep and they all intertwined together.

 

Think it is Indian Summer. They had masses of them last year in Wisley .. I mean, MASSES..

@Dave The Amateur Don't think yours is the same. Hopefully, they are as beautiful. Please upload photos now that you're uploading them like a pro!

I have some of my stock photos from last year

Dave You're one lucky person to have them FREE and you will have these to look forward to soon. Make sure you water them.
