me again! new garden
Thanks for last help. The new garden is much more woodlandy (by both design and neglect!)
I've got a white flowering shrub, next two are woodland plants or weeds, but they haven't spread widely. then a tallish shrub and lastly a probable philadelphus. This would surely need a prune, I wondered whether to cut it right back to say 4 feet as I think it a toughish plant. Maybe picture 4 needs a prune?

Last one looks like a Philadelphus. It could do with some thinning out, after it has flowered, which it should do fairly soon. Cut the oldest, most damaged looking stems right down and take up to a third of stems out, especially those crossing over each other and ones that look congested in the middle. I don't lower the height, they are tall shrubs.
Looks like a dock in the middle of pic 3.
Tulips taken overby docks maybe.
