Please help identify these plants please

[Curtainsforus]

Inherited these and I have no clue what they are.

Thanks

Dark red one is Smoke bush - fab colours through the year and smoke like puffs of seed heads

Creeper with little purple flowers is Kenilworth Ivy - a weed (but I like it)

Don’t know the other two sorry

Actually the pink flowered bush could be a weigela

I thought weigela - mine looks just like it (though not quite flowering yet).

Pink is a weigela, and the bottom right is a violet.

Or maybe not a violet.

Number 3 is tellima grandiflora or fringecups and number 4 looks like ivy leaved toadflax

Actually agree with pp that no 4 is a type of violet on closer inspection

Defo weigela 👍

@Turkeyhen beat me to it. Telima grandiflora is the only one I was definite about.

Bottom right is ivy leafed toadflax -

I went outside (in the rain - how dedicated am I!) to look at my violets and toadflax to compare them with your photo.

Yup. Bottom right is ivy leafed toadflax. The one above with green flowers looks like a weed I have all over my garden - starts with a rosette of medium sized hairy leaves? I have no idea what it is - I'll try to take a pic tomorrow to see if anyone can identify.

It probably is fringecups, as PP have mentioned with the proper name. It appeared in a dark corner of my garden where nothing much else wants to grow so I've left it - seems fairly easy to pull out when it spreads too far.
I'm noticing it more and more - I suspect it's a foreign plant that's escaped. I'd be interested to know if there's any info on whether it's becoming a problem.

The third one looks like it may be a Heucara, but I'd need to see a wider shot with the leaves to be more certain.

You’re right, it’s not a violet. Ivy-leaved toadflax, also known as Kenilworth ivy (though I’d never heard that name). Tiny pale purple snapdragon-like flowers.

If you download the picture this app you can take a pic of any plant and it will tell you what it is.

It looked like one, but then I thought no.

Certain about the weigela though.

Top right is Cotinus (probably) ‘royal purple’
Lucky you if it is.

If you enlarge the picture, you can see a flower - typical snapdragon/toadflax shape, not at all like the open flower of a violet.

The one with fringed flowers is definitely Tellima, fringe cups. Very useful shade plant, but yes, it has been identified as potentially invasive. Sorry this was the only reference I could find - there’s a full list at the bottom

No, not Heuchera, but Heuchera and Tellima are both in the Saxifrage family.

It gives you somewhere to start, but you should always double-check. There was a recent thread where a plant app had “identified” a tree seedling as mint!

Thanks - my plant with the green flowers is definately Tellima. They are right about it being invasive, it's all over my garden - it was here when we bought the house 40 years ago along with variagated yellow archangel and arum italicum, both of which are pretty but out of control.

Thank you all - very interesting, tellima has been escorted out of the garden - no doubt to reappear again sometime soon!
