As this group is so helpful - please could someone identify some more plants?
I've got a big garden and basically been winging it so far but desperate to learn how to care for the plants I have (been trying to find a knowledgeable gardener for years) with little success. If these can be identified I can start to look them up and hopefully learn how to care for them a bit more .... these are some of the plants in this border.
I have two triangular raised beds, a large rockery round the front and a pond with stream. I need to identify just about everything in them all but going to take it a section at a time to stop my head from exploding .... 



I found cards for some of the plants but I don't know what plant no.3 is, think no.4 could be a Spiraea.
No idea what plant numbers 5 and 8 are either - plant 8 looks like it's about to flower - it seems quite happy under the shade of the Ceanothus.
I planted a Ceanothus not realising how big it would grow - it is MASSIVE and I have no idea if it should be trimmed or how to do it. I think that's a 'Silver Queen) underneath that seems to be leaning and I'm wondering if this is because it wants more light, should I trim that side of the Ceanothus? (see last photo).
Any advice for any of them would be so much appreciated ...

Better to just have about 4 plants per post too - it gets quite difficult scrolling back and forth otherwise.
However, 3 is shrubby honeysuckle -Lonicera nitida, and 4 is a Spirea, although the pic isn't very clear. Possibly Anthony Waterer, but there's one or two with yellower foliage - Gold Mound is one. 5 looks like a spirea too, although a different variety from 4. Probably one of the ones with white flowers - Snowmound or similar.
The Pyracanthas all look largely the same unless seeing the fruits, and even then - there's several that are virtually identical. All are maintained the same way though
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
The "Iris with purple flowers" is an Iris sibirica
Plant 5 looks like snowberry, Symphoricarpus
Plant 8 is phlox
I believe this is variegated...so may be Lonicera nitida Lemon Beauty.

5. Quote rachelQrtJHBjb ......Plant 5 looks like snowberry, Symphoricarpos.
That can be ruled out as leaves on that are opposite...see pics below
Possibly Spiraea.
Oh yes, just googled the Bravo and mine definitely looks like that - the way it is growing upright - they're quite expensive! So grateful for this info, going to add the names to my sheet so I can look them all up. That phlox disappears completely in winter.
