Can you identify this plant. Suggested a dusty miller?

    @Solidgone - judging by the invisible illustration, I'm guessing it's a ghost orchid!

    It's a nasty looking little weed. 
    I think it's called a Southall

    Have you tried the plant identifier app?
    Think it’s called PictureThis, it’s been getting a lot of publicity the past week or so.

    Difficult to tell without any flowers, but I think it may be a member of the potentilla family - perhaps potentilla anserina (silverweed)

    Checked Picture this and Blonde said the leaves are not the same as Dusty Miller or Licorice. 🧐

    Perhaps a Mimosa Pudica?  AKA Sensitive plant - the leaves fold up if you touch them.

    Can anyone give me a clue what this little shrub is? Found it growing amongst nettles in a neglected part of the garden (ie the garden). About eighteen inches high, I have no idea whether it ever flowers. I've been in this house five years and never even noticed it. But then I found a ten foot ladder behind the shed at the weekend as well.

    Possibly Cherry Laurel?

    That's a Camillia.  Early flowering can get quite large.  Large attractive flowers, quite hardy but don't like to be east-facing as the flowers don't cope well with early morning sun after a frost.  Likes an ericaceous fertiliser.

    Tried that app: it's a camellia, apparently.

    It certainly looks like it. Thanks @cafcfan

    First looks like a mimosa.  Second is definitely camellia. Feed it with old tea leaves - seriously.

    I used that app to ID a weed in my garden I have spent 5 days removing but it grows back just as quick.  Small top, huge roots.  It is some form of Strawberry weed.  No idea how I will get rid as it has got everywhere

    Love figuring out what plants are as they pop up I my garden. I should really draw a map so I can remember what is planted where.
