I've been try8ing to identify the various honeysuckles in the garden,
and am OK on all but 2.

1) small leaved low bush with oval leaves with pointed ends, about 1cm
long, evergreen, inconspicuous flowers, seen in municipal plantings
everywhere, and not L nitida (which has round ends to the leaves.

2) evergreen climber, leaves about 1.5cm long, oval, abundant small pink
flowers in early summer, branches festooned with red berries in late
summer

Any ideas?

1st one is probably pileata.
2nd one is tricky as most of the main evergreen group have black berries.
if foliage is blue grey then may be splendida, difficult to grow and hard to
get hold of. another possibility is implexa but I have not seen the berries.
