Unknown to our own new garden

Posted by supergites France (My Page) on

We've just bought a water mill with an orchard in France but we don't have a clue what's in our garden. Could anybody help us out? 16 of them i'd like to know by name to determine what to do with them. Keep, move or remove them ... you can find all pics on Pictures of our garden... leave your answers there or reply me here.

Looks to me like you pretty well have things named. Why not post the pictures you wonder about here?

The one labelled Filipendula ulmaria looks more like Humulus (hop). If it is - expect vigorous climbing activity - soon. The leaves may feel sand-paper-y. Keep it away from gutters and roofs. It burrows, swells, and loosens...

The spear-leafed one on p1 looks like an arum, not sure of variety. They usually die down in summer and return in autumn. The seeds may be poisonous. Ask locally, as these are often persistant in old gardens.

You may find that Lamiastrum galeobdolon has rule the world tendencies. And it does its best to climb trees, etc. Keep it out of your compost heap unless truly dead, not just limp.
