    1) is Papaver cambricum (welsh poppy)
    2) Euphorbia (not sure which one)
    3) looks like Forsythia
    4) is Choisya ternata I think
    5) ?

    Thank you! I’m making an Online scrap book of all the plants so I know what I’ve got!

    Good idea!  :)
    If the Choisya is more yellow than green it is probably the cultivar 'Sundance'.

    5., is a Spirea.
    I think the Euphorbia is Blackbird.

    Thank you. Can I just check that this is welsh poppy too?

    And is this a geranium of some sort? 

    I have a beuatiful well stocked garden which I inherited when we bought the house. After two years of just pruning and weeding I want to learn a bit more!

    The latter looks like some sort of anemone, probably Anemone blanda.

    Yes, it is a Welsh Poppy.
    2nd. one looks like Winter Aconite to me.

    Yes, agree with Puckdoc, the second photo looks like Eranthis Hyemalis.
