today i picked my oldest son up who is staying with his dad till he moves in his council flat, when there i noticed in his overgrown garden(he just moved in by the way),there were alot of wild plants which spread so i decided to raid it lol, anyway when i dropped my son back i went equiped with trowl and bags, this is what i left with for now heheh,
as you can see i got them home and planted right away, some in my wild corner behind the trees, and some near my new deck round sycamore tree,
then i called my ex and asked could i have some off his plants lol,, luckerly he said take whatever you like , woooo, thank god he said yes,,, mind you he wouldnt have noticed anyway so overgrown,, 5th plant down i dont know the name!

#5 is some sort of dead nettle I think... good luck with all the new plants

Didnt you do well! got some great plants there . I think number 5 downis called LAMIUM it sometimes has a white or silver stripe down the centre of the leaves and pink or purple flowers. I have some and have put a picture of it to compare [especially for you]

Lovely finds Sandra - and free too, lol, which makes it even better.
I agree, pic 5 is an ornamental nettle, I have some, they like semi shade and make a good ground cover plant.

I think the leaves (or one leaf!) on No.5 look a little like a Coleus leaf Sandra though not sure? and no.4 a Hosta?-slugs favourite!
The all look a good addition to your garden anyway!
