Can anyone help ID these plants please?
Hi there, I have recently been helping my mother tidy up her overgrown garden and I came across a couple of plants that I don't know what they are. One is a bush of some sort with berries on and the other a grassy type plant (also if you know the plant to the left of it under the horse and cart). Are the berries edible does anyone know? Thank you for any help, here are the pictures:

The one on the left of the possible Day Lily is a wild euphorbia or spurge commonly regarded as a weed.
The shrub might be one of the cotoneasters - hard to tell without the leaves.
I don't think that is a Daylily, looks more like a Spanish bluebell.
If the leaves in 1. that come off half way up and go to the right belong to this shrub it's a cotoneaster. The manner of growth looks right, I wasn't sure about the berries
I think the second one is a bulb
In the sticks near Peterborough
That is a dock beside it.
Yes, might be Spanish bluebell - we'll know soon enough - it'll be putting up flower spikes soon if it is
Yes, I wasn't sure about the berries, but the growth and leaves look very much like a cotoneaster.
We have a cotoneaster with berries like that. Used to think it was a boring shrub until i realised that it spends April-june absolutely covered in bees - literally swarming
. It hums louder than our washing machine on its spin cycle
. So now i am a fan!
The grassy one looks rather like Deschampsia caespitosa. On the other hand, the leaves seem to have a distinctive rounded point. If they're also very smooth and glossy, it could be Ophiopogon, the green version - the one more usually seen is the black one, lily turf.
that's cotoneaster horzontalis and spanish bluebells scilla hyacinthoides
It's cotoneaster but the branch arrangement isn't that of horizontalis.
In the sticks near Peterborough
it could be C. Simonsii. In a mild winter it can hold onto some leaves , as this one has. I'm going with the Spanish bluebells too for the other.
