    If you don't mind can you identify any of these plants? Thanks.

    One and two are pics of a grass like plant I found growing in my garden. I put it in a pot and placed it where it is now, by the pond. Any ideas?

    Three to five are pics of two small plants I bought cheap at a local store (Tamworth, UK) in tiny pots. They were damaged and i brought them home and re-potted them. The one with the spiky, aloe type leaves is about three inches high, the other about five or six inches high. Thanks again.

    Plant # 4 looks like a "Rose of Sharon" or Hibiscus syriacus. I'm not sure, but the leaves resemble the one I have in my backyard.

    Plant #3 looks like a dracaena, possibly D. compacta.

    I'd say 1 & 2 are some type of Juncus

    Agreed with Cherylad,
    1 and 2 are definitely some type of Juncus.

    I don't have a clue about the others though, sorry.
