    Hello filmbuffy

    3 is periwinkle (Latin name: vinca). I wouldn't call it a weed but it is keen/invasive if it likes the location.

    4 is Bachelor's button, I think.

    5 is lesser celandine, a wild flower. I don't think of it as a weed but I know that other people do.

    yes 4. is Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora'

    3. Vinca

    4.. Kerria

    5. Celandine.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border

    I have major problems with the lesser celandine in my garden as it spreads everywhere and each miniscule bulbil you leave behind turns into another plant.  I always leave some as the bees love it, but it can be a thug.

    thanks so much everyone. so good when you know what things are :)

    Any ideas on the willow? i want to practice Pollarding on it but want to ensure species so dont kill it.
