    2 is periwinkle, Vinca, which spreads, so keep it under control.

    3 is Chaenomeles, ornamental quince.

    4 is a fuchsia, possibly F. magellanica

        No 4 definitely a Fuchsia of some sort. Could be any of the F. Magellanica varieties or cultivars.

          Would love to see close up pics for all above!

          Good, clear pics.... More chance of accurate ids.

          Glad you found how to start a new thread.

            Get this app... post a pic on your smart phone...and a human being tries to help you with an id.
            I believe it is FOC for first few...then you have to pay.
            But as here it only works if you take good pics!
            I would love to try and help you ..but as already mentioned would like to see clear close up pics!

            Photo 1 looks like one of the mints, possibly spearmint? Should be easy enough to confirm - rub a leaf gently!

            Photo 2 is vinca, or periwinkle. It does not grow height, as it is a ground-cover. All those whipy stems can sprout roots, so it can spread, although it is easy enough to keep under control

            Just had a look...in feedback people do have to pay...see below.

            Here we all do it FOC.
            If answers are wrong there is always someone to challenge the answer/give a correct id.

            I paid 2 dollars to find out what one of the plants in my backyard was. I submitted my question to the horticulturists that would answer my question. They said my answer would be there within 24 hours. My answer arrives later than 24 hours and the horticulturists said they could not identify my plant. They needed flowers to identify. My plant doesn't even have flowers!

            I was able to take pics of 5 weeds I was aware of their names, from my backyard. Each time, app accurately identified with possible alternatives. Excellent app /tool for trail walking and around home!

            The photo focused more on the ground around my plant or on my hand holding the plant to get better light than what the leaves actually looked like. Its closest matches didn't even come close to resembling what I was trying to find. Absolute fail.
            Alexis Parker June 4, 2017

            Paid for an identification, received an answer in 24 hours. They got it exactly right. I tested the answer they gave me against a local plant expert and they agreed. No one else was able to answer this, so this has been a huge help.

            You only pay for expert advice, so once you ID it come back here for lots of expert help :spinning:
