What has MIL done to my garden?

[UnrelatedToElephants]

My lovely MIL has been on a bit of a gardening jaunt while visiting, and has bought and planted out some mystery plants, kindly tagged with her own name - fab.
I think she thinks I'm a lot more expert than I am with this gardening lark!
Can anyone help me identify these?

Poppy, daffodil, apple tree, lavender and ermmm rosemary.

Perhaps some pictures may help

Could be fruit, veg or flowers. Middle might be a berry of some kind...
(See, so not an expert - help, oh wise ones, pur-leease!)

umm

Hellebore possibly the first one not sure of the others though

Think the first is a hellebore, not sure about the second or third.

Dunno but keep them watered

Why did she tag them with her own name?

Ah kitten you're quick! No photos on the mobile app, so I had to switch.

1. Blackcurrant

3- are the leaves slightly furry?

Sadly I have no idea, I'm hoping someone will come along who does know. Can your mil come back and do some weeding though, they are going to struggle I'm afraid.

They look like what I've got in my garden that grew naturally

Point duly noted! You're right - the weeds are doing a bit of a triffid thing out there. Have to admit I've been neglecting hers more than my own - not sure if I wanted to keep them, and "oh dear, what a shame, it died" seems a kinder sell than "I wripped it out". However, hellebores and blackcurrant are both pretty lovely things, so they will both be a bit more cared for from now on!

The furry leafed thing (pic 3) has short, slightly spiky hairs - like a number 1 all over!

number 1 is a hellebore.

I'm not sure no 2 is a blackcurrant Moonlight, I have a few bushes in my garden and they are similar but the fruits are on long stems rather than clustered like that.

3 i recognise but can't bring to mind the name. It will come to me

I lost my post that had a pic of my own black currant - it doesn't look like that one.

Agree 1 is probably hellebore, 2 might be spirea and 3 looks like dock leaves! But probably not....

You can search on photos in google

Maybe number 3 is sorrel?

I agree that the first looks like a Hellebore, but I dont think that the second one is blackcurrant. We have several blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes in my parents garden, and the middle one looks nothing like them. The flower head is too round, and the leaves are the wrong shape.

Are you quite northern? The middle plant looks like something that grows back home, but the name escape me...

Sure the third is not a weed? It does not look freshly planted either......

It doesn't look like the other blackcurrant she's given us (that one I'm sure of) but it could be a different variety of blackcurrant (do they look that different?) or a redcurrant/loganberry/gooseberry? related beast. It's nor a blackberry or raspberry, I don't think.

Number 3 looks like a horseradish! Course it might not be. Can you pull a bit out to look?

Or it's a dock leaf.

I don't think 2 is a blackcurrant at all. The leaves are far too narrow. Black currant leaves are more maple leaf shaped.

My first guess for nr 2 was an Astilbe, but google image results for Astilbe shows there is a slight difference.

Spirea looks like a good likeness, actually. It's sitting in the berry corner confusing me! I'm not northern, SE, but MIL is north wales. Has she brought me some welsh dock leaves for my flowerbed?

If it helps, she planted it between a big sweet william and a buddleia?

The third one looks like dock leaves and the middle one looks like an elder. Are you sure that your MIL planted them? They look like self seeded weeds to me.

Could it be a Sambucus?

Why don't you just ask her?

Because this is much more fun?
