Solved Please help identify

Here are few plants from my garden, can you please help me to identify them ?

This one flowers and give new growth every spring, but I've also got these horrible leaves from the last season. Should I remove them ? And what is it called ?


I've got few varieties of these in the garden, living happily, no idea what they are called.


A perennial, flowers in early summer. I am hoping that the leaves are distinctive enough for someone to identify.


Finally this one, quite woody, keeps this colour all year around and small, yellow flowers around this time of the year.


Many thanks and keep safe !

1st one Hellebore

4th Berberis

 

2nd Heuchera??

 

No 3 Looks like a Spirea, don't know which one though.

 

3rd one has yellow pom-pom flowers early summer? If so, Kerria japonica....?

 

Hi @Sian in Belgium Kerria is flowering now, although you can get just the odd one or two later.

 

1. Helleborus hybridus...hellebore
In future suggest you remove old leaves before the flowers open.
They look horrid and can cause disease.
Remove now asap.
New leaves will be fresh green.
2. Heuchers.
3. Spiraea sp ? Spiraea japonica Anthony Waterer?? Maybe.

Spiraea japonica 'Anthony Waterer' leaves - Google Search
Leaves not right for Kerria.
4. Berberis.

 

Mine isn’t....

 

Goodness, that surprises me.
They have been in full flower up here for over a week.

 

Thank you all, learned a lot today

 

You're Welcome @CharlesAC

I'm sure I speak for a lot of other peeps on here as well, such as @Silver surfer and @shiney when I say that it gives you a good feeling to help out a fellow gardener
