    I was only joking:)

    If it's any help, you can download an app on your phone called PlantSnap. Take a photo of the plant in your garden and upload it to the app.

    I think the pic is upside down. Its a bit hard to say, most likely seems to be Mallow, but the leaves in the background don't really look right. Hollyhock might be an option. Do the leaves belong to it?

    Looking at the second pic it could be a tree mallow. Mallow leaves are usually roundish but there may be some varieties with more deeply cut leaves.

    I have one in my garden, am sure it came in a wild seed mix but have no idea what it is called, beautiful plant .

    Try the Plant and Weed Megathread, They never seem to fail identify a plant.

    I agree. Mallow.
    OP if you google images of white musk mallow you will see. It has those kind of leaves.

    The herb looks to me to be Marjoram. Could be oregano.

    Haha thanks lads... I used to think it was a form of basil!! But had been thinking Lately it may be marjoram too ... I had thrown a load of different free seeds into that bowl years ago but only one type grew and overtook the whole bowl

    Could be marjoram, but don't eat it on the strength of my opinion!
