Anyone take a punt in these three, I guess the first two are weeds the last is a plant that flowered last summer and I haven't cut back yet.

    Aquilegia at the top, Arum maculatum in the middle, not sure which plant you mean at the bottom. I can see some Forsythia, some old stems of possibly Achillea, and taller old stems of perhaps Japanese anemone.

    First one looks like Aquilegia (columbine) and the second one looks like bindweed to me, but there seems to be a lot of other stuff in there too.

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



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

    1. Aquilegia

    2. Arum maculatum with possibly the spear-like leaves of iris foetidissima to the right 

    3. Haven't you got a picture of it in flower, or the leaves or something to give us a clue? image

    If the first is Aquilegia can I ask if that variety has a very different habit to others? I can grow bog standard ones like weeds. When I've had the one in the picture it spreads slightly but flowers doesn't grow much in height.

    The first is aquilegia, 2nd is arum (but there are some perennials there too like on the bottom left of photo, also a bramble get it out quick!), the 3rd could be Michaelmas daisies well after finished. 

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    There's all sorts of aquilegias KEF - tall ones and little short ones - as Nut will tell you image
