Hi, please can somebody identify these shrubs? The first (pictures 1 and 2) looks to be taking over the second, and reaches about 3 meters high where it has branches stretching upwards. The second one doesn't have any buds yet, just these reddish tinged delicate leaves. (Apologies if the photos come out at the wrong orientation)

Think the first is Viburnum - possibly Vib. rafinesquianum
I recognise the second but brain won't give me a name

First one -and second- is Viburnum lantana. Last pic is Spiraea bumalda.
Forgot to say, the first thing's flowers have a pleasant honey-like scent.
Thanks!
Gosh, you were so quick I didn't see your replies. Thank you very much Dovefromabove and Flowerchild
A viburnum and a spirea. I cant be more accurate than that, sorry

Doh, I meant third, not second - brain's tired - or maybe it's the Sauv. blanc

The sb has a lot to answer for Dove.
Is it my bedtime yet?
If 1 and 2 aren't the same, they're both viburnums
