Solved 5 in total plant ids please

@AnniD it will be a lovely surprise for someone for sure. I love foxgloves.

 

I think these are grown as summer bedding plants, but they like somewhere warm or even hot.
You probably could grow it as a conservatory or greenhouse plant, but light requirements mean it wouldn't work well as a house plant, I don't think.

 

Indoor.
No. 4 I reckon ligustrum ovifolium, rather than a cotoneaster

 

4. Mystery plant leaves are alternate.
This rules out Ligustrum as leaves of this are opposite.

 

@Silver surfer , can we rule out a fuchsia? It's too dark to rush out and check the leaves on my cutting outside the back door and online pictures aren't very clear.

 

Fuchsia are also opposite or whorled .
Cotoneaster are alternate..but I cannot tell if that is what it is.

 

I wonder if no.4 is Cotoneaster franchettii...

 

Cotoneaster franchetii.....Leaves of these underneath are silvery and hairy.

I will try and remember to get a photo of the underside of the leaves in the morning @Silver surfer , and with luck a clearer photo of the whole thing.
Thanks for the info re the Aloe @flounder.

 

Of course, you're right.
Could it be a c. horizontalis seedling? Definitely not franchettii...stems tend to be greyish and furry

 

I have cotoneaster that look just like that. I don't know the variety. I will take a photo later.

 

Here's a picture f the underside of the leaves @Silver surfer plus another rubbish one of the plant as a whole. I am no David Bailey (one for the more mature members there).

I have also attempted a 2nd photo of the plant kindly identified by @Scotmac as a "Box honeysuckle", in case that helps to confirm its id .

 

Here is one of my cotoneasters. It self seeded, so I can't tell you the variety, but it grows fairly upright to about 8 feet (if allowed)!

 

Box honeysuckle is otherwise known as Lonicera nitida or Lonicera pileata. I don't know which of the two you have, I'm afraid.

I retract Cotoneaster franchettii... still think it might be a cotoneaster... or not...

 

100% Correct as Lonicera pileata..common name box leaved honeysuckle.
It does flower but flowers can be easily missed as so small.

I see RHS now has it named as
Lonicera ligustrina var. pileata
