    Can anyone identify these plants please?

    Hi, for once I've been a bit organised!! I've just had an op and come out of hospital so have to stay in bed and not my garden BUT before my op I was organised enough to take a few photos of unknown plants in my garden. So here I am to ask you clever people if you recognise any.... (If i can put pics on properly this time...) I have more than I thought sorry!! Can I manage to number them??
    1) weed or chamile?
    2) small tree that has looked dead all year, just growing some leaves
    3) plant or weed?
    4) growing everywhere, is it a euphorbia? They swamped my old garden but were more succulent than this?
    5) quite large, round buds seem to have pink petals

    I'm afraid there are a lot more so I am going to continue in the next post. Any help greatly appreciated but understand if you look at how many there are and run away!! Just gives me something to do while I'm on bed rest and then I can go and potter and do the right things to the right plants in a few days

    Thank you

        18) no idea, weed or not? Growing well
        19) only one of these, tall stem, buds not opened yet, hope it's something nice.

          Sorry people, I'm still going... I'll have a break after the next 5 and see if I begin to get any replies... Might see if my husband can move me to the garden for a bit!! Then I'm afraid I'll be back in later
          21) and 22) same plant, maybe some kind of pampas?? Which small birds seem to love. I'll keep this but don't want it to get much bigger!?
          23) big tree, approx 8feet tall! My stepfather thought maybe some kind of ornamental fig?? Quite surprised it is growing so well eat the sea, is it sheltered by a wall. Sprouting up all around its base, when do I prune this??
          24) don't think the grassy stalks and the purple flowers are attached??
          25) pretty little white flowers.

                I recognise some of the others too - but their names elude me.
                Check out my suggestions and see if they look right - that'll give you something to do for a little while

                      Thanks veggie chicken and Bal.. Ive managed to sleep for a couple of hours so that took some time out of my afternoon!!
                      I'm going to look up / google some of your suggestions in abit but 1st I'm going to upload some more for you clever people (although you are the only two who have braved the challenge!!! Maybe I should have made it into a quiz and offered a prize!?)

                      26) have shot up,kind of straight and almost a foot tall, leaves almost furred a bit like foxglove??
                      27) and 28) I think these are the same tree?? The small one has sprouted up right underneath the others there's also a really tall straight skinny version next the original. They blossomed so I assuming they are some kind of fruit tree? Will dig up the seedling but if iknow what it is I can offer it to someone. Should I also get rid if the tall thin one that is growing right next to the original?? I'm assuming two that close is not good??
                      29) another established tree. Also blossomed so again im assuming a fruit tree of some kind?
                      30) this ones not too healthy.. We had to move it and sadly my husband has out it somewhere where we will need to move it again! I think it might be a kind of evergreen? Small tree but quite broad leaves,thick and almost crunchy.. (Might be churchy coz dying!!)

                        We have now moved onto the back garden!! Not as overgrown so less for you to help me identify.. But still a good few!!!!
                        31) some kind of shrub?? About 2-3feet tall, in quite a shady spot near the house.
                        32) my step mum thinks this is a hellebore? It had dusky pink flowers which hung downwards. Nice and healthy looking now..
                        33) shrub/bush?? Two of these, again about 3feet tall in a shady spot, not looking too healthy, not sure if I should prune them or something?? Leaves and woody stalks have a silvery colour.
                        34) I think this is some kind of hebe.. Again it needs some drastic pruning I think but the new leaves are looking pretty heaLthy and strong
                        35) quickly sprung up and spread on the patch next to the hebe, in the shade, no idea, looks a bit brambly or weedy to me??

                          I think 30 is a laurel, did it have white flower spikes?

                          27,28 looks like a prunus, flowering cherry i think, no idea which one I'm afraid
                          Dogs have masters, cats have slaves, and horses are just wonderful

                            34, looks like the laurel as feel is it the same as 30? Hopefully someone who knows what they're talking about will be along later.

                              36) tree, new leaves sprout out the side. My mum said to soften used as a hedge, although this one is too tall and well grown.
                              37) another tree, right next to the previous one, just getting little pink buds.
                              38) small tree, not evergreen, I thought it might be a hawthorn (good for my bunnies!) but it's not (good for me as not spiky!) maybe some kind of flowering currant my dad thinks??
                              39) another weed I left I thinking it might be a plant?? No prettiness yet??
                              40) another weed I left as above..
