Evening all, would be grateful if someone could suggest what these might be please, I'm a bit of an experimental gardener and not particularly organised with it so forget what I've planted where!
The first one looks vaguely like an allium to me but happy to be corrected.

This was growing out of the the cracks in the path up the road last year, it's grown hugely since I shoved it in a pot but what is it??

First of second post looks like a fuschia

Third pic in your first post looks like Erysimum to me?

EllebellyBeeblebrox · 06/05/2019 18:33

Thankyou clever people, is erysimum a wallflower? Think I planted some random scatter seeds last year but didnt expect them to come back!

The middle one is a Calendula also known as a pot marigold. May have been planted as an annual but will often survive our winters

Siameasy · 06/05/2019 19:22

As in middle one first row

EllebellyBeeblebrox · 06/05/2019 20:57

Thank you siamesey was happy to see it flowering again!

Yes Erysimum is wallflower Smile

PurpleWithRed · 06/05/2019 22:10

Ok, my best guesses. First post 1 some kind of bulb, will have to wait till it flowers. 2 Gazania rather than calendula but same kind of thing. 3 wallflower as before. Second post 1 i was going to say buddlia but now dont think so - possibly rosebay willow herb which is pretty but a terrible thug, self seeds everywhere. But not 100% sure.

Second lot looks like some kind of photinia

riverislands · 06/05/2019 22:23

The yellow is calendula, or old fashioned marigold.

Teaonthebedsheets · 06/05/2019 22:44

First one could be agapanthus?

picklemepopcorn · 07/05/2019 06:37

Last one could be photynia red robin. Has it gone at all woody like a shrub?

picklemepopcorn · 07/05/2019 06:40

No it's not, sorry. Took a closer look.

I'd be wary of that one!

justthecat · 07/05/2019 06:43

First one looks like a Alium, last pics look like weeds, I had some other week and they grew huge!

EllebellyBeeblebrox · 07/05/2019 09:10

Thankyou wonderful lot, you're far better than my plant ID app!
