Hi
I have lost labels to a couple of plants, also have a plant growing in a container that I do not remember planting!!!  Can someone please let me know what they are. Thanks.

    The second photo could be a type of Photinia shrub.

    Many thanks Borderline - I found a list of plants that I've bought in the past, most of them I know what/where they are in the garden. Came across the name trachelospermum asiaticum - could that be what the second one is called - if so - is there a reason it has never flowered. It would have been in the garden for 2-3 years now.  Replanted from raised bed to container.

    wjba36, from what I know, Trachelospermum they tend to climb/scramble. I can't see photo 2's full habit to know, but the leaves look very long and large which leads me to think not. If you have another photo of its shape and leaf size, may help more. The colour is also interesting too.

    Hopefully the following pictures will help more, the first one was actually taken November 2017.  The other two just now.

    Thanks for supplying more photos wjba36, with the new pictures, they do look like Trachelospermum. I do think you need to re-pot them into larger containers. Also, if you have not seen any flowers, maybe they are not placed in a sunny area.

    Many many thanks for your help - I will re-pot asap, will also ensure they are in sunniest position.

    Also thanks to Freddies Dad for info.

    Now just need to identify the plant (or is it a weed?) in the very first picture.  Just glad whatever it might be it is in a container as it has grown very tall and very bushy from what is was last November (it can just be seen in the front of the November 2017 pic above)!  I keep waiting for it to flower but so far it just keeps growing more and more leaves.

    Probably mistaken here , but the leaves and stem in picture 1 resemble a form of Digitalis lutea from what I can make out .

    Thanks Paul B3 - hopefully it will flower soon and confirm itself to be digitalis lutea - pictures I have seen online look great - can't wait!

    Hope I'm correct !! Feel like a right 'plonker' if I'm not !
