Plant ID's please
Could you id these plants for me, I'm doing the school garden tomorrow and would like to look like I know what I'm doing, haha !
Is this a honeysuckle ?
same plant as above.
Is this a campanula of some sort ?
Is this a honeysuckle / snowberry or something else ?
What is this please ? I was thinking creeping buttercup ? Someone else thought wild geranium.
Thank you. x

You're right - it's a buttercup - it might not be the creeping type, but it's definitely a buttercup.
The first is definitely a honeysuckle - I've checked my books and to me it looks like Fly honeysuckle - Lonicera xylosteum - described in my Keble Martin as ',,,. Possibly native in a few woods on calcareous soils in Sussex, elsewhere bird-sown or escaped from gardens, rare. Flowers May. '
Not sure about the other two - I should know what the shrub is - it could be a snowberry but the picture goes a bit blurry when I blow it up.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
ooh a rare honeysuckle, just as well it flowered and I looked today. I was going to take it out, thinking it was a snowberry. Goes to show how much I know
Yes first 2 pic's are honeysuckle, the third could be campanula but also looks like golden rod, the fourth pic' looks remarkably like winter honeysuckle very sweet scented and finally a buttercup. You were pretty much on the ball, all the best for tomorrow
The 3rd picture might be a Michaelmas daisy.
oh wow, okay that is all really interesting. Maybe I need to do a plant plan so going forward other people know what is there.
thank you for your help. Interesting re the Golden Rod, because I took some from my garden and planted it there, but not in that place, so I'll compare the two.
With gardening, you are just learning every day.
