    I'm seeking help in identifying the three plants in the attached photos.
    #1 may be some sort of perrennial herb...
    #2 ditto for this one
    #3 this may be some type of clematis -- but it has not flowered yet this year.
    Many thanks,
    Jo

    #1 looks like a plant my parents call Maggi plant, I believe it is known as Comfrey, great for flavouring soups and such.

    correcting myself in the other post, the plant I had in mind is actually Lovage, Levisticum officinale rather than Comfrey which in fact is quite different. :)

    I thought of lovage, too, which is what it is, of course. Got lovage confused with borage in my head, thus 'celeriac'.

    well I bet if we could smell or taste the sample it would have been a no brainer, its very distinct!

    Brilliant! Thank you.
    A couple of more, which perhaps are more challenging...
    451 & 452 go together, as do 461 & 462
    Thank you,
    Jo

    Deciduous azaleas. There are many kinds.
