Plant & Weed ID Megathread

Can anyone ID this please. Shrub or small tree. In bloom now. Very fragrant.

I wonder if someone can ID this weed that is growing under and within some climbing rose bushes that I have in my garden - trying to figure out a way to kill it without negatively impacting my rose bushes (which are growing wild and definitely need a good pruning!)

Looks like that to me as well. I find the roots not to be too difficult to dig out once you can avoid the thorns on the stem when you trace them back to where it is growing out of the ground. A loppers can help renove parts of the stem (and some rose branches if needed) to make the base more approachable. Might be a bit more awkward if the roots are knotted in with the rose plant but a trowel or a good garden fork would be the way I'd approach getting it out anyway. A bramble that size would not have a big root in my experience. Just be sure to bury the rose plant roots again if they get exposed by the digging.

Looking for some help with this tree. There are 3 of them, growing together in a remote part of the farm. From what I've seen, there's nothing else like them around the area.

Would like to try to grow some more nearer my house, but need to identify them first. Are they native Irish?

Yes Scots Pine. I was delighted lately to get a present of five potted trees about 45cms tall to plant in a woodland I am developing. Was told they came fro Clare so may be the same you mentioned.

Might be worth seeking self seeded plants near the existing trees.

They have shallow enough root systems, don't plant them too close to the house!

That would be one heck of a tree at 80m!

A stunning tree indeed. The growth habit is remarkable the way they just go straight out on the horizontal like that. I've never seen anything quite like it.

I've been told this is Wood Sorrel but I don't think so. Anyone got any idea?

100% Anemone and I'd tend towards Anemone Nemorosa - Wood Anemone, because the leaves are sort of bigger on Canadensis.

Ah yes, comparing the Google images of Wood Anemone with my photo they look the same. Many thanks.

OK so its a mallow of some kind - malva (malvaceae) .

I see some very similar by the sea in the UK where my mother lives and the one there is Malva arborea, Tree Mallow. Used to be called Lavatera arborea.

So might end up looking like the one here http://www.wildlifeinsight.com/4168/tree-mallow-at-porthmeor-beach-by-the-island-in-st-ives/

Hypericum. Androsaemum I think is the variety.

I have to ask, how do they know it smells like goat when you crush the leaves? :)

I may go out & crush some now & see how it smells 🤣
