005.. Ilex crenata - possibly 'Helleri'
003.Asparagus densiflorus 'Myers'
002 A. d. sprengeri
001..Hypoestes phyllostachya Polka Dot plant
004 is still kicking my butt...
As an aside, the Salvia I suggested, is a ground cover, to about 8" tall. No
fragrance, deep blue, very small flowers. Can't for the life of me remember
what it's specific name is, but I found it at a tiny, private nursery....
love it! I have a pic I can send you if you send me your email...or you can
see a pic on my webshots page... look in 'More Garden Blooms' and scroll
to Salvia 61103

Okay... first off, another big thank you to everyone who responded. It was
interesting to see the verifications and debate about some of the species.
The ones that I am still not sure about are as follows (and I've thrown a
few more in as well...);

This is a close up of that 'dead at the bottom' shrub that borders my rear
patio and is in need of pruning. I had an id as a cherry laurel, but there
are no berries on this shrub. We established it's not a mtn. laurel. I
think Yaupon Holly got mentioned somewhere, where only the females get
berries. Is this male yaupon?
This is a new one;

The penny is there cus I've always wanted to do that ;-)
One that didn't get id'd in the last round;

Another new one;

Another from the last round that I don't think was id'd correctly.
We had offerings of Mexican Petunia, but the leaves are the wrong shape.
The other suggestion was Salvia. I'm thinking there would be a strong
aroma
if it was salvia? There is no obvious aroma from the leaves, but with my
ignorance that doesn't mean anything!!

And this one has me confused;
http://purplelinny.com/plantid/pics/plants10.jpg
We had ids as Liriope, Porcelain Berry and Mondo grass. Looking at my
books
and pics on the web, I don't believe it is any of these - feel free to
correct me...
Based on your identifications and for the more elusive ones, comparisons
to
other pictures, I believe the following are certainties (using filenames
as
Id);

#3 - Elephant ears
To answer madgardener's question; the biggest leaves are about two foot in
length. There is lots of new growth at the base and I gather from a
neighbour that it's a bit of a pest in these parts.
#4 & #11 - Nandina domesticus (Heavenly bamboo)
#6 & #7 - Juniper
#8 - Sword fern
#9 - Rhododendron - this got interesting when I realised that laurel,
azalea and rhododendron are all part of the same family... still learning!
#11 - Azalea... I guess I need to distinguish the differences...
#14 - Shrimp plant
#15 - Japanese Holly Fern
#16 - Liriope
#17 - Argeratum "Gregg's Blue Mist" (Thanks Victoria :-)
#18 - Maidenhair Fern
#19 - Fatsia Japonica
#20 - Rose - we all knew that, but not sure of variety - certainly not a
typical English type rose...
#21 - Poinsettia - wow - I thought it looked familiar, but it isn't doing
the whole red leaf thing so wasn't obvious to me.
#22 - Vinca major
#23 - Asparagus fern
#24 - Bronze ajuga
#26 & #30 - Cyperus
#28 - Euonymus (burning bush)
#29 - Common violet
#30 - Rubus - ouch :-/
#33 - Hardy ginger
#34 - Indian Hawthorn - I have masses of this
#35 - Aucuba Japonica a.k.a. Japanese Laurel
#36 - Russelia Equisetiformis a.k.a. firecracker plant - thank you
Cereoid-
UR12-:-) I particularly like this pretty little thing. Think I will
propagate this one...
Phew - I think that will do for now.
Hope this isn't too much of a headache! It's probably been entertaining
for
my neighbours... seeing me dash outside every now and again, fondle my
plants, maybe take a picture then run back inside again. lol!
