1 and 2 are Euonymus (small evergreen shrubs)
3 looks like Helianthemum (rock rose, an evergreen alpine)
4 hmmm, bit difficult to tell... Gaura?
5 possibly Phlox douglasii, alpine phlox - evergreen, mat-forming
Others may disagree...
I think Liri has got them all right, except the phlox could be phlox subulata, more common than phlox douglasii.
3 looks like lithodora diffusa to me
Not a plant I know well Bamboogie. But it's too bristly for Helianthemum
In the sticks near Peterborough
3 could be either of the two previously suggested helianthemum or lithodora. I grow both and they both look very similar, it's only because I know which is which that you can tell the difference. I wouldn't be sure until you see the flowers.
4 is definitleyGaura, I pruned one like that yesterday.
Great, thank you so much. Number 3 is a mystery as I don't remember seeing either of the suggestions last year, but probably just didn't notice. Will see what appears this year. Thank you again.
3 If it has blue flowers it will be lithodora as far as I know.
