    Your second pic looks like one of the Viburnums - possibly Eve Price? Are there any buds on it? It flowers at this time of year.

    I'd agree that the last one looks like a Cornus -dogwood. it will have nice foliage later but they're mainly grown fr the coloured stems in winter Jack. They get pretty big but you can cut back, although they're at their best if they have room to show off their stems properly.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Here's another one, this has quite big leaves, I'm not sure if it's a weed....

    I think thats a bergenia. Are the leaves leathery?  It should have flowers about now but that doesn't look too good.

    Ditto Fidget! You just beat me to it image This should get pretty pink flowers on it

    Bergenia I'd say. It's evergreen and has spikes of pink  (most commonly) flowers grouped at the top in spring. There's a white one as well. Often called Elephant's Ears - for obvious reasons!

    If you google the names Jack, you'll get lots of pix of the plants in their full glory which will help you too.

    Yes the leaves are quite leathery.

  • That bergenia needs some tlc and a bit of space to grow.  Snails like to lurk under the leaves image


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Thank you Fairygirl, good advice.

    Now that I look Dove - think you're right about  Honeysuckle. In fact, I inherited a rather sad, neglected looking one here which will be coming out!

    Should have gone to Specsavers imageimage
