Triple plant ID request

[Jay-ell]

I've got three plants on the new plot that I'd like help identifying

Plant 1 is on the bed I'm digging over which I'll finish when I get home after work on Thursday so any help in identifying it before then would be great. Its growing as a dome shape about 1 foot across




Plant 2 is at the base of the Pampas Grass. If it's anything decent I'd like to move it before I have a go at the grass. This is about a foot high and forming a clump about 2x3 feet - heading into the pampas



Plant 3 is also near the pampas. There's two separate clumps in the midst of hogweed and dandelions,

The 2nd one I think is lords and ladies (VCs fav )

Dunno about the others

[veggiechicken]

No 1 looks like a daisy - ? marguerite or shasta
No 2 ?
No 3 ? Lambs ears or the wild cornflower whose name I've forgotten

[veggiechicken]

No 2 may well be Lords and Ladies now that I can see a complete leaf. Pull some up and see if it has a long white stem that goes underground (sort of blanched).

No 3, I'm going for the wild cornflower thing...........the name will come to me in a few days.

[veggiechicken]

Centaurea montana?

[veggiechicken]

" - Could it be a clump of Arum lily, rather than wild Arum?

[Martin H]

Gotta go with Marguerite, Weed (Lords and Ladies), Centauria.

Yeah, I suppose it could be. The leaves are pretty similar, aren't they.

[muddled]

Plant 3, no idea the name but I think I've got some of that!

If its the same plant, it has a lovely blue flower, bees love it, slugs don't touch it and it needs no looking after even on my dry clay.

The leaves look large for Wild Arum - mine are only just appearing

Ah yes - Cuckoopint. I Know I knew the leaves but couldn't remember. so much for Snadger saying it's sorrel - good job he didn't taste it then.

Ooh Cornflour - oh no wrong spelling

Thanks to both of you for the quick ID

Well I guess I'll be transplanting all three then.

[veggiechicken]

I'd transplant Wild Arum into the bonfire

[Jay-ell]

Well, I'll see if it's the wild arum or the white arum lilly as I think it may be the latter (wasn't paying attention last year) - no signs of flower yet but I have some vague recollection of something white.

Snadger's still scouring the area for something that looks like a bottle brush.

[veggiechicken]

Does he want to clean the lavvies with it?
