    I agree that picture 1 is Acanthus Mollie.

    Picture 3 possibly a Forsythia?

    Picutre 4 looks like a Rhododendron shrub.

    Picture 5 could be a Viburnum shrub, but not sure.

    Picture 6 could be a Euonymus Europaeus shrub

    Picture 7 possible Ribes Sanguineum cutting.

  • I'm no expert but 5. looks like weigela to me?  We also have one flowering now.

    And I'm pretty sure 6. Is the spindle tree as Borderline suggested above as I had to identify this in my garden this week.  If so it has bright pink seed capsules with orange berries inside - and they are poisonous!

    I agree Beefley, picture 6 is a Weigela and not a Viburnum.

    Looking at the comments to picture 3, I now think it could be a Caryopteris shrub instead. Just looks quite tall.

     Thankyou beefy.. some are taller than others bit the gardens have been neglected for a while by the looks of things here.. i'll look up Caryopteris ?

  • Thankyou all for replying.. i appreciate it. Im so worried about pruning wrong and ruining things or moving them to the wrong place in the gardens.. every little helps ?

    I think the stem on number 2 is very elder like. (sambucus niger)  Try again when it has some leaves.

    Elder is easy to ID my scratching tdhe bark and smelling it.

    Too many plants in one thread for me, sorry
