Another ID - these ones have me stumped!

New house in winter abs happily watching things emerge which are amazing. Could do with an eye over these ones please?

Pic 1 - I’d call this a ‘goose foot’ and looks like a houseplant. It was in a small raised bed riddled with ground elder. Everything else has been removed but this little plant looked so healthy I’ve put it in a ‘quarantine’ pot to see if any elder emerges and if not I will plant on. Any ideas?

Pic 2 - this shrub is all and leafed up late after looking like little pops of moss of the branches. We have 8 of them and I don’t know what they are

Pic 3 - we have a copper beech hedge and it turns into this, which I also thought was copper beech but now I think it’s a section of raspberry. If it is raspberry please advise - never had one! It’s approx 20ft long and budding all over in semi woodland. Do I need to let it do it’s thing, or something specific in terms of care? Thanks!

First one is cuckoo pint (Arum Maculatum) last one is wild raspberry.
Not sure about the shrub

Pic 2 looks like hibiscus to me.

RIPwalter · 29/06/2021 19:13

First one is a Calla lily
3rd one maybe a tayberry.

I think zantedeschia (arum lily) - hibiscus - raspberry/loganberry etc (hedging my bets)

Agree with @SongsForSwingingLovers.

If it's raspberry it will depend on whether it's autumn or summer fruiting, based on the time of year you'd assume summer fruiting but mine are at a similar stage and are definitely autumn fruiting. Summer fruiting ones need more support, autumn ones may be fine as they are if in a hedge style situation. Summer fruiting raspberries fruit on old wood, so if there were no canes there when you moved, it's likely the previous owners cut them back before moving and they will be autumn fruiting. Therefore they just need cutting back each winter. If they were there, keep an eye out for any that don't have fruit on them, and don't cut these back as they need to be at least two-year old wood to fruit. Cut back any that have fruited to below ground level in winter. New shoots will form and fruit the year after next, so you will have alternating fruiting canes.

Number two is a hibiscus. It should flower in later summer.

Mykittensmittens · 29/06/2021 22:33

Thank you.

Can’t believe we do have raspberries! We also have prolific birds here - woodland! - so I’m thinking they may enjoy them before we get a chance? There are no canes and it’s rampant - like a soft hedge and semi-wild. Hundreds of small fruits/flowers so will watch and see what happens and act accordingly. Thank you.

No 1 pic - may well be a lily although I have a dark purple Cala lily and those leaves are far more upright. I really like it. It’s glossy and happy and I’ll hopefully watch more emerge as long as the elder doesn’t pop up.

Would never have guessed hibiscus, thank you. Many of them in a border maybe 6ft high and very sheltered so hoping they give a decent show.

Thanks so much!

  1. Cuckoo pint alternatively known as Lords and ladies.
  1. Hibiscus
  1. Raspberries - interesting that they are woven into a beech hedge - a couple of scrappy plants I planted close to a beech hedge have done tremendously well with little or no care. Mine tend to fruit from about mid July to September. Enough to have 6-10 with my morning yoghurt but that's from plenty of plants!

Yes I recognise the arum lilies, they are quite temperamental, they like quite a bit of shade and dampness also move about underground. (I planted a lot of these, but they aren't happy in my garden which is quite alkili ) they haven't flowered at all!
