identify some plants for me please?
Hello,
A friend has kindly given me a fair number of plants for my borders.
Problem is im not sure what some of them are, could you identify the plants below:
The only one i have identified is the one in the first two pictures which i think is creeping jenny?
Next up is this one, again looks to be a ground cover plant:

And finally this one: again a low creeping plant with a reddish leaf and pinl flowers:
Many thanks for the help in advance, this is a brilliant forum!

I only know the last one for sure,it's a type of Sedum.
1 & 2 looks like cinquefoil
3 ?
4 Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia)
5 a sedum but no idea which one
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thanks for the help. Some else suggested the last plant was a sedum of some sort.
The first one isn't Creeping buttercup - it's hard to tell as it's very floppy, but it looks like a cinquefoil which spreads like wildfire here and is regarded as a weed in this garden.

I'll keep a close eye on it.
Number 3 might (and only might) be one of the ground cover dianthuses.
Is the third one some kind of rock rose? Can't think of it's proper name at the moment .
It looks like a groundcover dianthus I ordered in the summer BTG. I just wasn't confident enough to say it in case I sent you all on a false trail. Mine has deep carmine flowers. Dianthus deltoides.
