Plant & Weed ID Megathread

Looks a bit like a fuchsia, but I am not convinced by the leaf groupings.

Thanks - it may well be fuschia. The raised bed is a few feet from where a massively overgrown fuschia was removed last year (see below). I was sorry to lose the fuschia, but it was in the way. It would be nice to be able to revive it now in a pot maybe. Should I try pull it up and pot it, or take a cutting?

No idea what this is, any help please?

Seen leaves like that before that was an Alder tree. Are there any big trees nearby?

What is this plant please? Seems to have vigorous and long lasting flowers on the roadsides so I want to get it going in my wild verges (unless its an invasive):

No big trees near us. I threw a wildflower seed mix in there last year so presumed it was something to do with that at first but it does seem to be some type of tree. Any harm in leaving it? These other things

are popping up

I think they look like Yarrow (Achillea) which have nice flowers.

Trees tend to get fairly big with time so if you don't have the space for them it is easier to dig them out when they are younger.

Happy gardening!

Whats this thats sprung up in my verges please? Thought it was another Elder tree but the leaves are different:

Is it a Guelder Rose?

The maple-like leaves make me think it is. Plus I had been looking at native Irish hedging plants recently, and this one is common as such.

Does anyone know the name of this nice climber with red flower.

Sorry the picture is a bit dark

Chaenomeles for me, probably 'crimson 'n' gold'. I've been admiring them anywhere I've seen as they've been great this year, as has pretty much everything. An underrated plant.

Great stuff a guys. Thanks for all the help

Saw my first one ever tonight too, Christ they are like mini drones, the noise of them!

If you take a rake to it - you can get special ones for thatching grass but any rake will do really, and scrape it to remove all that dead stuff. Then feed it.
