Could a be early stages of crocosmia? Had it grown from a bulb?

C is a type of weed.

Pics G & H: I think this is the same plant in different locations. (Please correct me if you think I'm mistaken though!) I posted pic H before but no one seemd to have any suggestions.

Pic F looks like Jasmine. I agree pic A is probably Montbretia/Crocosmia.

Did 'C' have little blue/purple flowers a while ago? I think its a weed, speedwell (veronica) of which there about twenty varieties. 'D' is also speedwell, and has VERY TINY almost white flowers. (I must get to know the speedwells in more detail; they are all in my Marjorie Blamey book!)

I think pic G is a dogwood (cornus, or spindle). It isn't the same as H. Good for butterflies but a bit rampaging.

Does anyone know the name of the plant that produces little orange yellow puffballs on tall stems in early Spring?

Thanks for all the replies! I'm glad about the crocosmia - I think the flowers are really pretty!

MrsbertBibby is that buddleia globosa?

If pic A throws out a dark orange flower it's Crocosmi. Monbretia is a smaller version with a paler orange similar flower. Crocosmia is the more striking and it'll thicken up year after year.

Could H be a mint?

Pic B might be Carnaby.

Traviata, no, sadly, that's lovely! This is shorter (1.5m high) the flowers are more puffbally and the leaves are smaller, lighter green, a bit rusty looking. It's fairly common, but I've never known its name, and I want to know how to care for it as they can look lovely but mine is really scruffy and meh. Flowers from quite early, March maybe, April definitely.

I think h is dead nettle of some sort, a weed

Report
NanTheWiser · 01/07/2016 15:33

Probably Kerria japonica pleniflora MrsBertBibby.

A) not sure about this being monbretia/crocosmia as leaves seem a little too corregated

B) clematis...possible Ernest markham or jackmans purple

C) speedwell- annual 'weed'
d) can't make it out despite nose an inch off the monitor
E) violet
F) possibly climbing jasmine?
g) dogwood
h) the toothed leaf one - looks like mock orange coming through

Mrsbert i agree with Nan- it is probably Kerria although the puffballs are a more deep eggy yellow than ornage. We call it Batchelors Buttons here in NE. It suckers terribly though so once you have it it will spread all over like a bloody rash (looks at neighbour's specimen)

Report
mistlethrush · 01/07/2016 16:19

i agree with most of those - speedwell is lovely but really a weed. I think H is probably a weed too (and different from G) - possibly Fat Hen but I'm not sure from the photo .
