The first is wigelia which doesn't flower on first season growth so
nothing till next year.
The fluffy bush looks to me like Spiraea X billiardii
The third, honeysuckle, just wants a good feed, something with fairly
high Nitrogen (that's the first number when you see what's in the feed.)
Tree or big bush is Lilac
The tree makes me think of a Pear tree, but I cant enlarge the picture
to have a closer look at parts of the tree.
Lastly a form of achillia, the flower will telll you if it's wild or a
cultivated form


Something about the tree suggests Cherry to me, possibly the sour one.
Morello. It actually almost looks like tree covered in ivy the growth
is so lush.


You can actually see some cherry type fruits hanging from it in a
couple of places. But the leaves aren't what you'd expect from the
normal edible cherry. And the achillea/yarrow/millefeuille is exactly
what I was trying to think of!
