The first two came with the house & garden, the third one is a hebe but I'd like to know which one and the fourth is one I bought, planted and then put the info label "in a safe place".

The first one is usually one of the earliest to flower in spring, masses of tiny white clusters.

Anybody know what they are?

Number 1 could be jasmine, but I'm not sure. Number 3 is definitely your hebe, could be Autumn Glory.

The second one looks like a plumbago flower?
Sue.

Ta! I've been googling...
1. don't think it's jasmine - no scent.
2. Yes, looks like plumbago!
3. not Autumn Glory - the leaves are wrong but the flowers are (were!) purple

The colour of the stems in the first picture, and the early flowering lead me to believe it may be a dogwood.

No1 - I can't remember the damn name !!! (old Age) it's something like syringia - I know thats lilac so it's it's not that ....... aaaaarggghhh where's me big book .....
No 2 is Plumbago ( not the pain in the back thats called smething else)
No 3 is a Hebe don't know which one - (or maybe a shrubby Veronica)
No 4 looks all the world like a Variageted Ceanothus but it's mightly late ( or very early) flowering

Cool! I just found out that Hebe and shrubby Veronica are the same thing. Never knew that!

4. not mint, but I did wonder about ceanothus!

I thought that no 4 was a variageted Ceanothus too...started to murder mine yesterday and they were all in bloom so don't let that fool ya...darned weather!!!

Could the first one be the shrub known as 'Bridal Wreath'? (I think it IS a Spirea....)

Oooh it does look like that kentvegplot! Thanks! I never thought of spiraea - all my other spiraeas are pink/purple!

so:
1- Spiraea "Bridal Wreath"
2- Plumbago
3- hebe
4- probably variegated ceanothus

Thanks all!

(still wish I knew which hebe(s) I've got!)
