I can't get any closer Dave , sorry . For a moment i wondered Hibiscus but i can't find a leaf to match .
I even looked around the garden centre the other day but nothing stood out

It is a difficult one,if it is bird sown a tree is likely and i wonder if it could be some kind of Alder

Just found out from my friend what the unknown plant in tub is, it's a White Poplar at juvenile stage.

A friend sent me this one for ID but got me stumped, thought it might be a mallow, no flowers and bird sown I think. At first glance i thought it belonged to the Poplar tree family ... John , what is colour of the back of the leaves Good news John , nice to have confirmation

Odd isn't it, i have seen lots of adult White poplar but the leaves are so much different than the young tree.

Great variation in leaves on Poplars, between White, Grey and Balsam, you would think they were different species, 25 all told, sorry Jen should give you more credit on this. Sorry, should have said 35 species

Not sure Jen, the berries look like Elder, but the leaves don't. Could it be Dogwood?

Oh i bet you're right Audrey , i hadn't thought of Dogwood . It was a tall plant , tree i'd almost call it ... but i really didn't think it was an Elder when i cropped the photo . Thanks for your help , i'll go on looking though i bet all the elder berries have gone by now

The leaves do look a much better match for Dogwood.

A friend took these photos in North London, suggestions include Michalmas Daisy and Purple-stemmed Aster. Any Ideas? TIA Brian

Hi Brian , they will be forever Michaelmas daisies to to me , but these days they're called Aster's , although this report below from Gardener's World is surprising ? Aster for me is what i buy as an annual plant . They have a much larger flower .
I'm not sure what your variety is called .
Michaelmas daisy borders a nuisance in Canada & probably the USA
''Until recently, Michaelmas daisies were known as asters, but their scientific name has changed, and many popular varieties are now known as Symphyotrichum.

I'm like you Jen, i will always refer to them as being Michaelmas daisies.
