Three mystery plants

Dear members.

Three challenges.  All taken in May in my front garden.

The grass is I think an ornamental grass but no idea of its name?

The tree with yellow leaves is 5 foot tall?

The little black bush!  Is a rare one, never seen it before?

    At the top you have Carex pendula


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    Then I think a Yellow Cotinus

    Then Sambucus nigra, possibly 'Black Lace' but there are many similar cultivars

    The last plant looks like sambucus nigra, Black Lace

    That carex is a nightmare if it seeds around.
    Agree with the other 2 IDs, although there are quite a few dark Sambucus, all fairly similar   :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Yes, sedge - pull the seed heads.
    It seeds everywhere and grows very thick and compact, fast. Luckily it's easy to dig out if you want to.

    Thank you for that, sounds better than "big grass"  : )
