Arh, plant B looks like Bryony to me. It will climb with tendrils up something close and produce small white/green flowers and red fruits.....I think. The fruits are poisonous, not sure of the plant.
I do like this kind of thread (and Pilsbury's, about the borage/comfrey/alkanet thing). Quite fun looking through our books for things, and as Cab suggested last week I am going to try and post up the plants in our garden that I'm not quite certain about.
hmmm, just looking at the leaf lower right it seems to be distinctly lobed. My field guide shows white bryony bryonia cretica to have 5 lobes and tendrils. I have some mallow in the garden - common mallow - also lobed; but the stems are a lot more woody in appearance in my garden specimens. Field guide says lvs often with a small dark spot. Something about the look of this plant says vigorous grower to me. I daresay all will be revealed in the fullness of spring! can we have some feedback from the photographer please?
