    Spending my first spring in my garden , just not sure what I have got.

    The first one has been blooming all winter although the leaves look a bit shabby and it has really taken off now.
    I think no 2 and 5 may be the same plant, I can remember 5 better as it was a really stiff sharp little thing, which I wasn't expecting. Number 2 had a small little red berry the size of a small cherry tomato.
    No 3 grows wild here and is in a wildish part of my garden, but looks quite interesting.
    No 4 has bloomed all winter, its not very high and again the leaves look a bit brown and battered but it has provided some welcome colour, just don't have a clue what any of these things are!
