Going right back to 12 it's one of the hardy osteospermums, daisy like flowers in summer. 15 is skimmia japonica. 19 is spirea probably gold flame 21 is elder. Can't remember 19 but it's a pain in my garden a weed in my book seeds readily usually found in damp watery conditions like ponds, lakes. 22 I think is a campanula. 3 could be one of the eryngiums.
Thank you again, Gardenmaiden. And you too, Dave. I think they would be easier to identify when they are in bloom, especially No.12 and probably 22. Any ideas about what I could do with 20? It's in a long trough by itself.
Check the drainage in the trough - the weedy, water-loving grass could be self seeded and whatever was originally in there died-off due to waterlogging.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Nutcutlet, thank you. I shall get rid of the weed and plant some annual flowers. I've sown some seeds and I'm waiting for them to germinate. Do you have any idea about the middle plant in No.3, it appears in several places in the garden and for the moment it's not very attractive.
Picture 22 is a Campanula either C. portenschlagians or C.poscharskyana. Both are real thugs and can take over a lot of ground. Same goes for the lamium in picture 7. No 20 is Juncus effusus,I think, the soft rush and a weed.

Will make sure the trough gets proper drainage, BobTheGardiner.
Thank you, Invicta2. For the moment the Campanula has not spread too much, but I will try to keep it in check. Same with the Lamium - I really like those leaves.

I think 20 is Juncus effusis, soft rush, a common weed of well -watered pots.
and 22 a campanula, is that the one you were thinking of Gm?
C. poscharskyana

Thanks for confirming the Daphne, Nutcutlet.
I agree with gardenmaiden on the middle on in 3, Centranthus ruber, valerian, bees like it.
and a bit of aquilegia at the bottom

Thank you.
Should I do anything with the plant in No.2? Remove some of the dry bits from the fence maybe? Or cut it back?
