Yes Nutcutlet...This is the one with the harebell like flowers...
Oh crumbs I think it was this one...
Now you have got me thinking...(always a dangerous habit for me is thinking...!!!)...No I am almost certain the blue flowers were on this one...oh bl**dy hell could have been that one to its right that I cut back...oh heck I am not sure now...
No 4 is a violet. I think the campanula is too over to tell, but if it had harebell like flowers it is almost certainly a campanula. However, there are many different sorts, blue, pink, purple, tall, short, oval leaves, long leaves???
Number 6 is an achillea or yarrow. Could even be the weed one which is white, but the leaves look better quality.
Number 5 looks like the climber, Star Jasmine or - wait for it! - Trachelospermum Jasminoides. Covered in white perfumed flowers in summer. Can be tender in winter. Mine went black 2 years ago (-17°) but recovered in early summer and grew lots of new leaves. Trim it to keep it tidy and cut off any dead bits in spring. It will wind up a support if you give it one.

Right thats it done...I have (Well actually YOU have...but I might claim all of the credit...)...have now identified all the plants in 3 out of the 18 or so borders and I have made a file on the computer...
It's right fancy...there are photos, plant details, latin names, the whole bl**dy caboodull...I am feely right chuffed with mesell...!!!
It has been a right drawn out affair but I think it will all be worth it when I print it orf...
...all I need now is a very large bank loan to pay for the bl**dy ink cartridges...it will need shed loads me thinks...
...oops forgot to say...that savage and brutal cutting back plant must be the Campanula and all on hear say that the other one is defo a violet...trouble I canny find plant details for a Violet on the plant search option on this site...According to Google a Violet is called Viola Reichenbachiana but I still could nay find it...
So many many many thanks to all that are helping me to identify this garden...I really really appreciate it...

It may be a weed Carmic, yarrow is an achillea. But I think it's not the weed.
4 must be one of the campanulas, asters don't have leaves like that and they have daisy flowers. Though it looks more like a violet to me.
I don't recognise the shrub

Funny you should say that, nut, I thought 4 looked like a violet as well!
Are you sure you photographed the right one Carmic?

I think we can safely say it's not an aster anyway
Is there nothing left to see on the one you cut back?
Next year all will be revealed

I must have been rather brutal to that one on that day Nutcutlet...
This is more of a close up....there are only a couple of leaves showing...

google sweet violet or wild violet but make sure you're on a uk site. They're all wild somewhere in the world.
It's not that one with the long name.
