Mystery plants

Hi all

I've got a new garden and some plants I don't know what they are. Any idea what these plants are ?

Thanks

    1. An iris, one of the ones sold as Dutch iris I think

    2 Looks like an ash that has been cut back many times

    3 Opium poppy

    I wondered if No. 2 could be lots of suckers/shoots from a wisteria - looks like there might be a wisteria stem involved with that trellis thing behind the foliage?

    Might be Dove. I don't know wisterias well, it looks a bit solid from wisteria in my mind. But my mind is unreliableimage

    I'd like to have a look and see what's going on inside all that foliage ...

    Thanks, I will look tomorrow at what's going on inside, if its wisteria shouldn't it be flowering?

    What wisteria do, and what they should be doing, can sometimes be very different image

    Getting a good show from them relies on getting the pruning right.   But let's wait and see what it is before we go there - it might be an ash, as Nut says.

    How tall is the iris in the top picture? I don't think it's a Dutch iris. 

    The ash is an ash--probably self-seeded at some point, you can and should dig it out before it gets too difficult to do so!

    Then the last is a seedling opium poppy as nutcutlet says.

    Now you mention it I see the leaves are wrong for Dutch irisimage

    Yes, looks like Iris pseudoacorus to me but from an interesting angle!
