I'd be grateful if someone could tell me the names of these two plants.
The top one is fairly knew but the lower has been in the garden for years - and seems to spread.
Thanks
Paul

    It's possible @Fairygirl can help with the second one 'cos it looks like the moss you get in the west of Scotland?  Or it could just be me having a senior moment and remembering the landscape totally wrongly!

    The second one looks like a Euporbia as well.  :)

    We get plenty of moss @herbaceous, but I'd be slightly worried if it looked like that!  :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Trouble is @Fairygirl everything looks different when you're young! Oh and when your eyesight was better and the memory  :s   Just ignore me @powderworks I'm having a bad day.

    Many thanks. BTW - I'm just across the border in Cumbria, so not exactly a dry warm part of the country.
