My thanks to all of you who took the time to reply to my post.
I guess the only one unclear was the last item - the tree. I took a few
twigs with leaves on them to the local garden center - they reckon its a
type of Birch. Could that be correct ?

Very hard to tell - the pic is out of focus. I wouldn't necessarily
trust a garden centre to identify - try taking it to your local
council's tree officer.

Once again, thanks for taking the time.

Hi,
We moved into our house last Autumn and left the garden alone to see
what
would turn up in the spring. Lots of stuff did Unfortunately most of
them
weeds.
Among all that there are a few plants, shrubs, trees that I do not
know -
all of them are probably pretty common as this garden seems to just
grown
wild for a few years now. Your help in identifying these will be
greatly
appreciated. For each of the plants there is a link to my site with the
photo.

1. Is this a plum ? The flower looks like the plums in the RHS books,
but
the leaves dont. Its growing in a Laurel hedge. Photo :

2. Is this Lilac ? Any idea as to which variety ? Photo :

3. Unknown shrub 1. This is rather small - approx 2 feet high. Has
small,
round white flowers that turn up in the spring. Most of them are gone
now.

4. Unknown plant 2. This is a small wispy plant - nice flowers though.
Started to flower a week ago. Photo :

5. Unknown plant 3. Looks suspiciously like a weed. Photo :

6. Unknown shrub 4. Approx 4 feet high. Has small round green/white
flowers
or buds. http://www.pgnet.plus.com/gardening/Unknown4.jpg

7. Unknown shrub 5. Approx 4 feet high. Has one small red fruit that
looks
like a jelly bean. Dont know when the flower appeared - never saw it.

8. Unknown plant 6. Again looks like a weed, rather than a plant.

Lastly, unknown tree. Its got a dark brown bark. Approxinately 12-16
feet
tall. I initially thought it might be Rowan - it had small white
flowers
in
late April/early May, but then when the leaves turned up they look
nothing
like the photos from RHS. The flowers did not look like plum flowers
either.
There are 2 photos - one of the tree and the other a close up of the
leaves.

Thank you.
