    Yes on looking again, I've s' stretched' the pic out (for some reason clicking on it isn't working at the mo) its nothing like a spirea!! Def looks like a cotoneaster.

    Conifer for the first and cotoneaster for the second. 

    I have to agree about the variegated conifers image

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



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Wow thankyou all for your replies. I have taken some better photos for you. I will number them as in the original post.

    Here is a close up of number 1, the conifer, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Fleckellwood?

    The next 2 photos are of number 2, the Cotoneaster...

    I'm not sure about cotoneaster for 2. I don't think the leave arrangement is right.



    In the sticks near Peterborough

    I'll have to google that Edd but if it's a berberis it's a bit short of prickles

    Berberis thunbergii, no, I don't think so.

    The "varigated" conifer looks more like it has dying/frozen shoots to me!

    So not a cotoneaster? Any other possibilities? Sorry for being a total noob! image 

    hmmm thanks Sue that is interesting. If that is the case is there anything I could do to help it?

    ..the white variegation on that conifer I think is natural for that type..can't remember what it's called, probably the one already mentioned but you see these sold in supermarkets as dwarf conifers...

    ..the 2nd photo I would say is Cotoneaster 'Coral Beauty'...
