    oh yes, no 1 is a poorly rosemary - knew I'd seen it somewhere in my garden!

    Hosta yes, recognise that now as well.

    ...the last one looks like Geranium endressii... usually have pink flowers... seed everywhere and form big clumps... perhaps several were planted and have merged together quite a bit...

    Thanks all - number one looks nothing like my rosemary I would never have guessed! I found it stuffed in a corner as though it had been forgotten.  I'll pot it up and feed it and see what happens. It might relieve to be of use to someone.

    Lizness - thanks for the advice! Now I know what (most of them) they are I'll hunt down some cheap larger pots and get them repotted up and fed until I've researched enough to see if I can spilt them up for a trip down South. 

    Sounds like no.8 is going to be a pain!

    No 8 will be fine - dig it out where you don't want it, but it'll be useful groundcover for those spots where virtually nothing else will grow or will provide patches of green and pink in the areas you haven't got around to yet image  Better than bare soil - weedseeds like bare soil!!!

    1 is definitely a very sad Rosemary clari! image

    5  looks like a Hosta when you enlarge and 6 might be another one. 8 is a geranium and probably the one Salino mentioned. I have it here but it's out of sight!

    All the others as already mentioned.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    I'd dump that rosemary now Clarington. I think it's beyond help

    Take the rosemary out of the pot and dry it, then burn it on the charcoal when you have a BBQ - wonderful image

    No 1 looks very yew like to me?

    No 4 Miniature Rhododendron?

    No 7 Spirea?

    Otherwise agree with the rest.

    Unfortunately we have a gas BBQ (almost brought it out for its first use yesterday!) But I have a wonderfully healthy rosemary that now lives by the main path into the garden (easy reach from the kitchen & quite nice to knock when you walk past) so I think this one will be added to the compost bin.

    Actually when I think about it I think I still have dried rosemary cuttings from last year somewhere!!

    Thanks everyone ever so much for your help. Hopefully we can perk them up and see about getting some shipped down South.
