Every now and then I see a plant I don't know but feel I want to grow. 

I tend to take a photo of it and come here. I've found people's help really great. 

Can anyone help with some of these? 

Plant 1: lovely green silvery foliage  image

plant 2: big fluffy purple 'flowers' like a small tree.

image

Plant 3: this had tiny White-pink flower clusters which were very fragrant.

 Plant 5: 

i see this amazing plant every now and then and want to grow it. This one gets hardly any sun it's down an alley- is that what they like?

I have a feeling some of these photos haven't uploaded so will try again when not on phone. 

Thanks for any ideas

    Number 1 Senecio now known as Brachglottis

    Number 2 Possibly the flowers of a Rhus typhina

    Number 3 I may need to think about that one for a while image

  • I can't see plant 3, but from the description, if it's flowering now, it might be Viburnum bodnantense 'Dawn' or a similar variety

    Looks like a Lantana to me, though the pic is a bit blurred.
