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.

Thanks Kay!
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.

It's a poppy

Is it? Which one?

(I've never really looked at their leaves - the yellow ones and the big
red perennial ones are the only ones that grow with me)

The leaves look like the small yellow ones that grow like weeds (with a
really deep root) ? Perhaps they are not as serrated as the yellow ones.
Is that a bud right in the bottom middle of the picture-looks a bit like a
poppy flower bud.
If it's not the yellow one then it's the very rare one that only I have ever
seen:-)

Yes, it could be. Mine don't grow in that sort of situation, only in
open areas like gravel paths and between paving slabs.
