Plant & Weed ID Megathread

Re the previous plant, silly question, but... do those flowers actually belong to that plant, or is something else growing through it?

Rose bay willow herb. 99% sure. They need hand weeding really but can be sprayed. They will produce 100 of seeds until mid autumn and can be very difficult to remove if you don't remove as much root as possible.

That actually could solve the problem Leaves and branches are cotoneaster, small and waxy, but the flowers don't seem to belong.
There seems to be a lighter coloured leaf close to the flowers.

Not a Spirea, leaves too small and rounded.

Intruiging!

Agree, willow herb, pull if tall before they flower, glyphosate will knock them when young

Spiraea nipponica has small rounded leaves!

acacia or locust here? please tell me how i tell the difference

Could it be a lemon myrtle ?

But I'd be more inclined to think it's a Spiraea nipponica too

These dont flower, definitely not.

I think we need a clearer, close-up photo of both flowers and leaves, even separate pics.

Might be Amphibious Bistort, has two forms as name suggests, terrestrial form sometimes doesnt flower. Usually fairly damp ground.

I'll take some better photos tomorrow, id love to get rid of it tbh. It appears in early summer, grows right through until its cut in August, gets to about a foot high. No seeds or flowers visible.
Also it seems to love the wetter parts of fields.
I downloaded a weed identification app and it suggests some type of knotweed...

Edit.. Just Google imaged amphibious bistort and it looks identical minus the flowers

Lobelia... :pac:

wildwillow

Houttuynia cordata chameleon.


Good ground cover and hardy. Spreads easily but not too difficult to control.

love the rich colour it gives

I'll stick with Willowherb,being a silage field it's possible that you're cutting it before it reaches flowering height.
Where there any recently flowering 3-4ft pink flowering plants in hedgerows etc that you could compare it with?
Willowherb loves wet ground too.

Looks like some kind of dianthus but that's a noobs guess.

Not dianthus, I'd say geranium. https://www.northcreeknurseries.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/mobile.plant/ID/86/index.htm

Wouldn’t post, I believe it’s coprinus lagopus

Would anybody know what this tree is? I inheritated the tree when I bought my house. Tried to identify if based on the shape of the leaf - some suggestions that it was an elm or holly (but it’s never produced berries, only leaves) but not sure. Thinking about planting an apple tree in its place but would like to know what it is before I go digging. Thanks in advance!

Some form of Prunus, probably a sucker or rootstock growth from a previously planted cherry or plum. Fine to remove it.

Could be a Kiwi. If you use homemade compost, it could have come from this.

Thanks. My 'Picture This' plant ID app suggested Kiwi but I wasn't sure. Might be worth looking after it, if not for fruit maybe for decoration.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the name of this plant?
