Moved into a new house last year and I'm not making many changes until I know what's where plant wise. So now everything is starting to flower I'm plotting what's where. The tricky thing is working out what's what because this is my first garden that I've had that isn't a grow bag.

If you'd be so kind I'd like to I'd the following:

Think the first 2 pics are Lungwort

The first two are lungwort as GLhas said
The thumbnails:

1. Weed?
2. Lungwort
3. Honeysuckle - winter flowering
4. Flowering currant

My best guesses are :-
The spotted leaves are Lungwort - as Greenleaves said.
The triangular leaves look like wild arum/lords and ladies
The creamy white fowers look like honeysuckle ? scented
Pink flowered shrub (smells of cats) is Ribes Sanguineum (Flowering currant)

Hi, Gingerfingers. I agree with VC - lungwort (pulmonaria), lords and ladies (arum maculatum), winter flowering honeysuckle, it's a shrub, not a climber - my favourite winter flower (lonicera fragrantissima), and flowering currant (ribes sanguineum).

Thanks everything that's great. Going to start drawing a plan of what's where and create a calendar log of what I need to do to each plant and when bets time to do it... Will take some cuttings of the two shrubs as the colours at early spring are lovely.


Most appreciated everybody!

We're doing well, Team GYO - we all agreed on the names
Is this a first?

[Scarlet]

Ha, we are all feeling mellow as its hols

[Gillykat]

I agreed with them all too

They're all great for bees and wildlife as well so I'd definitely be leaving them in situ

I'd get rid of the wild arum - it spreads too easily

It does but it also looks pretty well boxed in in the photo so could be left in. I always think the seed stalk is attractive and the leaves are such an interesting shape.

I'd be more concerned about it's poisonous berries if there are any children around.

Be careful of the pulmonaria/ lungwort/ spotty one it has hairs which can cause irritation to some people.

There's always one...........make that two..............who don't agree with me

Now you are wrong! We agree with you but not in the same way other people use the word agree!
