Can you help me identify the following, please?

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Hi quickbeam, welcome to WAB.

1. Really need a close-up of the leaves to make a sensible guess.
2. Sweet Gum - Liquidambar styraciflua, grown for its superb autumn colour.
3. Honesty - Lunaria annua. Often grown for its attractive seed pods.
4. Ivy-leaved Toadflax - Cymbalaria muralis.
5. Smooth Sow-thistle - Sonchus oleraceus.
6. Amphibious Bistort - Persicaria amphibia. Doesn't only grow in water.
Dorts.

1 looks like a young Atlas Cedar, Cedrus atlantica to me.

Hi quickbeam and a welcome from me, too.

Any chance of a close up pic of the leaves of the impressive conifer please?

I'm thinking 2 might be the closely related Liquidamber orientalis, the leaf doesn't look quite right for L. styraciflua

Thank you very much for the IDs.

Here is a close up of the unidentified conifer (picture 1 above):



It looks to me like some sort of cedar or cypress, but I've never managed to find one that matches both the foliage and the general shape.

Thanks for the close-up. I was wrong with my tentative ID as it's clearly not a cedar, but a cypress. I would now say it's a Cupressus; maybe a form of C. macrocarpa?

It looks very much like Cupressus lusitanica. Just a thought.

Thanks again.

It does seem to be Cupressus macrocarpa lutea.
