I think I know on these two but rather than make a fool of myself I thought I'd ask.

Something is always turning up in our garden..☺

I'd say the first ones are Japanes Anemones and the second is a Polygonatum (Bistort).

I don't know the first one, but the second one is bistort, and it's edible It's used to make easter ledge pudding

cheers,

Is the first one not sycamore?

 

[Blundstoned Love]

the second is a Polygonatum (Bistort).

It's actually not Polygonatum - that is Solomon's Seal. It's Polygonum - it used to be called Persicaria, which is what I learned it as - hence my mistake. Bistort is right as a common name though.

Is the first one not sycamore?

I can see what you mean, but if you look closely at what little you can see of the stems it's definitely herbaceous, rather than woody, as even small trees tend to be. Also the leaves are showing more of a purple tone rather than the bronzey red of new Sycamore foliage. I'm pretty sure it's Japnese anemone.

I would say that the top picture is Japanese anemone and the bottom picture is Persicaria, I didn't realise the name had changed. Thanks.

Thanks guys and gals bistort I was pretty sure of the other I wasn't sure.
Does bistort self set?
I might move it into the veggie patch

A good bit of root is enough for a new plant; it's how I got mine
I grow it in a tub and it keeps it a bit like mint, not running rampant, iimmc.
