ID ALL THE THINGS! (please!)

[NotAPuffin]

We moved house 6 months ago and I'm trying to work out what's in our garden. I haven't got a clue about plants. So far I've managed to identify a holly tree, some bamboo and irises, and we've had crocuses, hyacinths,bluebells, daffodils and sorrel in a raised bed. And there's an apple tree, a cherry blossom tree and TONNES of ivy as well. After that I'm stumped.

18:43:52

first is a sweet william
third is a fuschia

When did we get to be allowed to post so many pictures?

Right, the tiger lily is gone.

21- fuchsia

3 astilbe
5 spiraea japonica
8 lavatera
10 hypericum
15 prunus lusitanica possibly?
18 berberis thunbergii
19 dianthus

26- photinia
Last one - oxalis

Last photo in first post is Astilbe - Goat's Beard. I've two, they take loads of neglect/punishment and come back every year.

Cross posted with loads of more knowledgeable people than me!

Just want to say this is the best plant ID thread ever and I bet your garden is lovely

20 choisya ternata
21 fuchsia
23 anemone?
26 photinia
28 alcemila mollis
29 oxalis

The second last one is a bit misleading, it does look like a geranium but what doesn't show in the photo are the lovely fruit it had back in winter - it's a chinese lantern plant. I'd forgotten about that. It was gorgeous around christmas or so.

PencilsInSpace, we do rather like it : ) It's very small but packed full of interesting things. We've never had anything but grass and a few herbs before, so this is fascinating.

This is like a gardening quiz ....

1. Rhododendron
2. ditto
3. Astilbe
4. Rhodo again
5. Spirea
6. Rose
7. Primula
8. Lavatera
9. Callistemon

10. Hypericum 11. Camellia 12. Hazel 13. Escallonia 14. Aucuba 15. Hebe 16. Laurel 17. Lily 18. Berberis 19. Dianthus 20. ??? Pieris, non-flowering 21. Fuchsia 22. Cotoneaster, possibly laetus 23. Rodgersia podophylla 24. ??? new growth on Azalea japonica 25. Dryopteris, possibly atrata or wallichiana 26. Photinia Red Robin 27. ??? looks like 20. maybe Pieris 28. Alchemilla mollis 29. Oxalis

Last one is shamrock!

12 is a contorted hazel. Grows huge, ours is 6 m high. Dig it up and put it if you want to keep it but don't have room as it's really beautiful with its weird twisty stems

The second to last one is Alchemilla mollis (ladies mantle). Very good underplanting for roses. Will self seed a lot so keep an eye out.

The last one is Oxalis - good in shade but can spread a bit so watch out.

At 18:45, the last one is Drimys I think - if it has reddish stems and white flowers then yes. The second is Matteuccia Struthiopteris (shuttlecock fern) and the first one is Photinia x fraseri 'Red Robin'.

You could really have done with numbering these if you are going to put so many up.
I could ID more for you but it's too confusing without numbers for you to reference, I don't want to confuse you.

I agree with Trethew.
All of them are fairly standard shrubs/perennials and most (if not all of them) can take a bit of neglect and continue to flourish.
Note that the rhodos & azaleas are acid loving so need different feed/compost than the others.
