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. _________________ Cory Flowers are a little piece of Heaven!

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

I'm with Bluewing on #3, I've owned that drac but can't remember the name, sorry. I think it's this one: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/19605/ _________________ Nichole http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=33917

Agreed with Cherylad, 1 and 2 are definitely some type of Juncus. I don't have a clue about the others though, sorry. _________________ Jon/FlowerFreak "There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
