I'm hoping their are some members on here that may know some or all of the species I post. Weed 1 - Is a climbing groundcover. Has purple star shaped flowers. Very thin stems. Weed 2 - Has diamond shaped leaves. Succulent-like stems. Buds are cirle with 4 points, directly inline with eachother . Weed 3 has hairy stems and leaves. Thats about it for this one. Plant 1 is a shrub about 2 meters high, has variegated green and yellow foliage. Orange berries. Maybe a variagated sheenas gold or ytt, possible. Thanks all. Link to comment

Just need the weeds identified now. Any horticulturists here? Does anyone know of any common weeds in the brassicaceae family? Link to comment

I think I can have a go at the weeds. Weed 1 - looks like a Wahlenbergia, which here in SA is a native. It could be something else though - I'm not 100% sure. Weed 2 - I'm certain it's Chenopodium album (Fat Hen). Not sure about Weed 3 - maybe Stachys arvensis (Stagger weed), or else horehound (Marrubium vulgare)? Except that both these weeds are supposed to have "opposite" leaves, while yours looks to have "alternate" leaves. You could take a sample to your local council office - they should have horti/environmental staff who would know. Best of luck! Link to comment

Weed 1 resembles Wahlenbergia, so its very possible. Thankyou very much. Link to comment
