I've just signed up here as we are beginning the task of giving our modest garden a decent makeover. First of all we want to try and identify a couple of plants that are already present.

This is a cutting we were given by a neighbour. After a near fatal accident when transferring from pot to ground it has recovered nicely. We would like to know what it is and what it can be expected to turn into, size-wise,

This one is tucked away in one corner and was present when we bought the place. It's a very low little thing. We're thinking of trying to move it to surround the base of a birdbath we have just put in.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

the second I think is Alyssum, "Sweet Alice" of which there are a few colours, an annual but self-seeds readily. IF I am correct it would not be worth your while transplanting it as it is, shake the seed heads all over where you would like to re-produce it and give it a severe cut-back and re-plant - sometimes they will carry on for a 2nd year of growth.

Good luck with your new garden.
