ID please

Can anyone help me to identify these plants please? The first is a small white flower, low down plant in my wild flower bed. The second and fourth were in the Victorian open garden and the third rather weird looking flower was in a flower show but with no name. Thanks for any help in identifying.imageimageimageimage

    Blue spires are a Salvia of some description I think. The next one down is Gloriosa rothschildiana and the final one is Verbena bonariensis. I feel I should know the white one but its escaping me at the moment.

    It's not the usual angle.

  • Hello Everyone,

    I am new on this forum but I hope I could ask for help in identifying a plant. I have rescued this plant from neglect and would like to give a second chance. image

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum Gosia. I am afraid I do not recognise your plant but I am sure that someone else will be able to help. Is it possible for you to take and upload some more pictures of your plant?

  • Thank you Ladybird and fidgetbones - you have been really helpful - it is always good to learn the names for the plants we photograph. Welcome to this great gardening forum Gosia4 - sorry I don't recognise your plant either, but I do hope you manage to get a name for it tomorrow.

  • Thank you for having a look....it is surely a mysterious  plant.....  :-) image

  • I think it might be a not-very-happy Forsythia.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Hello Gosia and welcome to the forum image

    I can't be certain but the leaves on your plant remind me of my forsythia.
