Wow that was quick. Thank you.

This is another one to look out for: Deadman’s fingers - also very odd looking.

The Mullein moth caterpillars have arrived on the water figwort.

That’s such a shame. All our verbascums at work have been decimated this year. Don’t know why I bother!

They are beautiful. I look out for them on the mulleins but never see them.

There is a great plant identification facility on google search. Just click on the camera on the google search bar and then when the photo has been taken click search with your camera. Its really handy.

Can anyone tell me what this sinister looking twining climber is please?
My dogs seem to be attracted to it and it doesn’t look nice!
It’s currently about six feet tall and the leaves just starting to open.

It's just a Euronymous I think! If you cut it hard back it will look like this

Looks like black bryony to me. It is poisonous to humans (apart from young shoots), don't know about dogs.

My vote goes with Euonymus. Yes, just cut it back. Makes a nice shrub

I go with Simon, Black Bryony.

Yes @enrico, it’s a euonymus - but I was referring to the sinister looking thing growing through it!
I think @simonwig and @Monbees are right. This is a new one on me and having now read up about it, it does live up to its sinister appearance. It needs to go.
Thank you all for your replies.

Can I start off with this one?
Leaves are about 2.5 feet tall. No signs of a flower yet. Just popped up in the garden

Thought I’d update this. I’m 5’3”
