    Hi

    Any help in identifying the attached would be wonderful!

    The last one is a pale pink but this doesn't show too well in the photo.

    many thanks
    Gavin.

      Hi Gavin these are my thoughts on what they are, but I am sure others will be along..

      1.. Double Clematis could be Daimantina..
      2.. Peony, no idea which..
      3.. No idea..
      4.. Hardy Geranium no idea which as so many.. Part of the cranesbill family.. Smashing little plants..

        3. Wonder if it is Schisandra???
        Male flowers.
        Male and female flower on different plants.

        Is it a twining climber?

          The Clematis looks like Proteus, number 3 I agree with Silver Surfer looks very much like Schisandra.:dbgrtmb:

          The picture's not very clear, but could #3 be Akebia quinata?

          3. I don't think it is any of the Euonymus genus. All these have just 4/5 simple petals .
          Gavins pic has flowers with inner and outer petals.

          euonymus flowers - Google Search

          Hi

          Sorry about the picture quality for No.3 - I've taken a few more that hopefully show it a bit better. At the base it is quite knarled and woody, and it continues like that upwards, but new shoots are soft and green. Hope the photos here help

          Thanks for everyone's help and feedback

          regards
          Gavin.

          Well, that ain't an akebia. How about a celastrus scandens / orbiculatus?
