Some will be a lot easier to id once they have flowers.

Some easy ones to start -
1) grape hyacinth Muscari 2) Aquilegia 3) possibly the young shoots of
Sedum spectabile 8) Bergenia 9) could be a cistus type thing - big
shrubby rock rose 11) possibly Buddleia alternifolia, the one with small
purple flowers scattered the whole length of the stem.

6) Could be Sarcococca. Has it got any little black berries on it at the
mo? It's hard to tell from the picture.
9) Looks like a Cistus to me too.
10) Are these two separate shrubs? The leaves on the left look different
from the right hand side. I thought the right might be some sort of
Rhododendron or maybe a Pieris.

I agree with Pieris for the one on the right. What about Centranthus
ruber (Red Valerian) for the one on the left?

Could be if the leaves are soft. But not if they're leathery. But isn't
it far too early to have that much growth on Centranthus?

What's that underneath the bushes - possibly Corydalis?

If we are on picture 10 then the plant underneath looks a bit like a
geranium.
Looks a bit bold for Corydalis-mine are fairly feathery (blue and white).
Any road--It certainly looks an interesting garden.

It does on the standard sized picture, but if you double click on the 0
of 10, you get a giant sized picture, and that shows clearly the leaves
to be dissected into separate leaflets, ie not like a geranium at all
;-)

Yeah ... but I couldn't think what else it could be.
That's why I asked the question, even though it wasn't one of the plants
asked about.

No, not at the moment at any rate.

Yes they're separate. Actually there's a third taller plant behind too. If
you can be bothered and you have broadband, click on the underlined O (next
to SML) to get the very big size and you'll get a better view.

Looking at the large size pic I've changed my mind for that one (sorry,
lol). The leaves have a slightly toothed edge and I think Rupert is
probably right with a Camellia. It has some nicely promising buds
whatever it is.

In the large pic you can see the remains of old stems from last year on
the left hand plant, so it could well be Valerian as Philippe suggests.

Ah. On the big picture that on the left does look like Valerian but it's a
big buga for this time of year (as previously pointed out more eloquently by
Kay)--what area are you in?
The plant (s) behind look like a Magnolia (perhaps) and just a suspicion of
a Japanese Knotweed (dead cane)

Seems so much more advanced than my patch in West Yorkshire.
I guess you will be finding more gems in that garden in the next few months.

Hi

Yes I think the no.10 right hand one is a kind of pieris, I have one
very similar in my garden, with lily of the valley type flowers on it at
the moment. And I think the left hand one is something else - it almost
reminds me of fresh new growth of valerian but I am probably wrong!

I would agree with the no.9 cistus/rock rose id as well, we have several
mature ones which look very similar.

I would agree with hebe for no.4, there are loads of different kinds and
the leaves look right for hebe.

No.6 does have the look of rhododendron with the buds on view.

You have some nice plants in your garden, congratulations!

Thanks. It's been an exciting three months, watching things appear.
