    Just had a thought. Mine’s called Frosted Explosion.

    I guess I will have to see what happens with mine. I read it usually flowers in August. September time.

    @Lyn I had a grass like that in my cut flower border in the veg garden. I didn't sow it, don't know where it came from but it practically took over the whole vegetable garden. I thought it was a weed.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Still waiting to see how number 3 and 4 turn out. They have grown bigger but no sign of any flowerings.

    Anyway, onto ID round 2:
     

    Not sure if 11 is the infamous Willowherb?

    Thought 12 were bluebells from a distance, but soon realised they are a different shape and they also appear to be creeper plants as they are growing upwards on a bush.

    I obviously identified the honeysuckle of some variety but unsure of whether to keep it. What do people here think? Nice flowers of course, bees like it etc. But does it strangle other things?

    Thanks again . . .

    9.  Crocosmia
    10. Carex Pendula - get rid, if you can't get it out just dead head for time being.
    11. Willowherb
    12. one of the Campanula family
    13. ?
    14. hypericum
    15. ?
    16. Lace Cap Hydrangea

    Agree with @Loraine3.  I think 13 is re-growth from a dandelion root, and 15 could be burdock seedheads.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Please may I suggest you start a new thread and just post 3  different plants at a time.
    Many plants on one thread can get rather long and complicated.

    15. Looks like Geum urbanum

    4... I grow a particular grass looking just like that at the moment,  very pretty, I save seeds for next year.  called Frosted grass.


    Hi. How big does this grow? One of the ones here has really shot up and is about 60cm tall. The top part has also started to show signs of something sprouting/flowering.


    Does that look familiar? 
    Still unsure whether to dig this out or not . . . .

    That looks like millet to me … do you feed the birds?
