     If those two stems with nobbly bits come from the plant they're sticking out of, it could be a day lilly. (Hemerocallis)

    Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.

    Hello

    Yes those stems do come from the plant in the middle which have seed pods on the end of some kind.  I did pull out some brown woody stems from it but these were the only 2 green looking things left poking out of the plant so I left them.  I have no clue what the 2 plants on either side of it are.  Do you need a close up?

     I always like close-ups! If possible, when posting for ID, post an overall picture (just as you have done) then a close up of any flowers, seeds, leaves or stems that look interesting. 

    The ones on either side could be campanulas. They could be Leopard's Bane, but I think that's usually died down by now. Or maybe they're that stuff with small white brassica type flowers and funny smelling leaves (that's not it's Latin name btw!) Do the leaves smell funny?

    Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.

    Hello

    Thanks for all the help- this is a really friendly forum :o)

     In the morning I will take some close ups of them all and then re-organise the pics on the post.  I haven't smelled any of the leaves or anything like that as it never crossed my mind at all lol! I will have a good poke about though tomorrow and report back then

    Please can you help.   Are pics 1 and 2. the same shrub/tree?  If so, are both pics taken recently? Thanks.

    Hello

    Yes 1 and 2 are the same tree, I thought I would do a close up of on of the branches and I took the photos mid last week.  I thought it might be a Larch?  Also some of the older branches have these little brown bumps on them where it looks there might have been cones and the birds seem to be pretty interested in them.

    Thank you for you reply . It is not a larch.  In pic 1. you can see all the bumps, that you have noticed, however these do not show up on pic 2. This is what puzzled me. To try and help you, I would be very grateful if you would take another pic of these bumps. Wonder if they are buds or fruit/seeds, especially as you say the birds are interested in them.Thanks.

    Here you go... some have these soft feathery and them some of the bumps have nothing on them at all.  As I said the birds seem pretty interested in these tree and I have seem them pecking away at the bumps.

    little nibbling bunny , I have tried very hard to id your tree, sadly with no luck!!!

    It is really annoying me, as the leaves are so distinctive.

    PLEASE will you come back, praps in the spring, when it flowers, and post some close ups.

    I would dearly love to get a name put to it, if not by me, someone else must be able to id it.

    little nibbling bunny hi, just been thinking about your mystery tree. Has it done anything yet?  Did it lose the leaves over the winter? Any sign of flowers? Don't forget to post more pics!

     What is your location, are you in UK?

    Pic. 5 is a Doronicum (commonly called leopard's bane - I believe) haviny many single-stemmed yellow daisy-like flowers.

    Pics. 1 & 2, looks like a willow (Salix sp.), of which there are very many! Does the tree have catkins in spring?

    Best wishes,

    Tony.
