Red Tulip

Plant ID

The leaves don't look correct for elder but the large one in the photo has a general form that is very reminiscent of an elder, - do the leaves smell when bruised and elder does seed around

Weeds ID

I also don't think this is G elder, the roots of which also have a distinctive smell and you would see underground runners being sent out as the plant matures. I think this is an umbellifer - does it have a carrotty-shaped root, many of them do. I think I also have this weed- don't know what it is but it flowers like a cow parsley

Jasmine In Shade

I have had jasmine (officinale, i think - the white summer flowering one) growing over an arch in partial shade with overhanging trees. It does grow but not alot and it has never flowered, its at least 8 years old, perhaps this is due to competition from the trees but overall it has been a disappointment. A rose on the other side of the arch does well and flowers fine.

Crocosmia

Lucifer has started to self-seed in my garden. It looks the same as the parent. Noticed flowers this year which taken about 2 years. So if you have excess seeds maybe also just try casting some around, you may be lucky!

Slimy Fungus on gravel

I have exactly this growing on a concrete path. It is a real pain and very slippery to walk on. I thought it was a slimemould but have been unable to identify the actual species- I agree with you it doesn't look like any of the pictures I can find on the 'net. I am scraping it off with a spade at the moment but if you find a better way to exterminate it I would be grateful to know.

thanks
