Plant & Weed ID Megathread

Looks very similar to a decorative holly that I acquired from a neighbour. Has it ever flowered? Mine has clusters of small yellow flowers at the moment (don't think they've ever matured into berries like normal holly).

I dug out of veg patch a few years back when only an couple of inches tall and said I’d pot it and see where it went

Is it a type of barberry? It reminds me of a berberis darwinii I dug out of my parents front garden a few years back. Here is a clip of it flowering but at the size of the one in the photo it might not have flowered yet.

Have this growing in one of our farm ditches, beside the road. Seek app said it's Common Lilac.
Can any one confirm this?

Thanks.

I found they grew fairly slow when small as well but the pace of their growth picked up once planted in open ground.

Agreed. Lilac leaves in the background, too! Should have a very definite lilac perfume if you get up close.

What does it smell like? That should be a dead give-away.

Certainly looks like Berberis, Holy Diver

Definitely a Berberis, and as above really needs planting in the ground

Anyone know what this might be? It appeared beside my cactus last September and I re-potted it

A young aubergine or maybe a pepper/chilli, I'd say.

Fairly sure there wasn't anything there

Or if you check the underside of the leaf, whitish and softly hairy if Coltsfoot

Thanks. Using the app mentioned, it came up as a cayenne pepper plant. Bit random!

Neighbor has it in a new garden and its totally in flower, masses of blue, so rampant it needs cutting back but it attracts so many bees they are leaving it until its finished. iirc the variety they have is Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant'
