Can someone please identify these four Plants?

Hello all

I hope you are well.

I am in the process of melting so before I become a gooey mess could someone please identify these four plants for me?

1.



2.



3.



4.



Thanks in advance

Kevin

 

Hi Kevin, 1: Pachysandra that needs a bit of ericaceous feed. 2: Cotinus. 3: Salvia (possibly) 4: Ceanothus

 

Hello @noisette47

Thanks for the reply and the identifications, it is appreciated.

Hello @noisette47

I am trying to identify the Ceanothus (4) but am not having much success, especially since it seems to have red fruit and I was not aware that any Ceanothus varieties had red fruit.

This is a closeup of the plant, do you happen to know which variety it is?



Thanks in advance

Kevin

 

Kevin, it could be this ...

Ceanothus 'El Dorado' (California Lilac)

 

Hello @Victoria

Thanks for the reply.

I agree that the leaves look similar but on the page you linked to there is no mention of any kind of red fruit so I am unsure.

Also, it has not had any flowers this year yet and it says it flowers in Spring and Early Summer.

Thanks

Kevin

 

Sorry Kevin, I missed the berries. Perhaps it is one of the Euyonimous variegated family ...

PS I am a big Minion fan ... even have Minion Banana Tic Tacs!

 

Hello @Victoria

Thanks for the reply.

I will take a look at the Variegated Euyonimous.

As for the Minions, it kind of describes my sense of humour, also, you may or may not know but the Minion in my Avatar is my namesake.

I think I have gotten older but not necessarily grown up

Time is a difficult concept for me as I tend to experience it differently to most, I have been told that I have Chronoception which does explain some but not all and there is very little known about it currently.

Basically, I am now 53 years old but I feel every age simultaneously, I have the feelings of a Toddler, Teenager, etc. all at the same time, it can be difficult at times

Sorry for rambling

Now to Google.

Thanks

Kevin

 

Interesting.Hmmm!
All Euonymus sp can be ruled out as leaves are opposite.
Mystery plant leaves are alternate.
Ceanothus fruits are hard, nutlike capsules.
Interesting I have never seen these...maybe not hot enough in UK.

This plant at some stage this year had flower...maybe so tiny they were missed.
First flowers followed by berries, seed pods.

Kevin please can you add new pics to show a leaf and these red berries.

 

Hello @Silver surfer

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried to get close ups of the leaf and fruit, not perfect but hopefully good enough.





Thanks in advance

Kevin

 

Many thanks.
I wonder if these red bits are not berries but Ceanothus flower buds...please watch and keep us posted.

Ceanothus now seems to fit.

 

Hello @pete and @Silver surfer

Thanks for the replies.

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I will keep an eye on it and update you when, or if, it gets flowers.

The link to the Ceanothus El Dorado does make sense as it is relatively small and this plant is located against a 1m tall fence.

Thanks for your help with this, it is appreciated.

Kevin

 

That ll be next year now then Kevin
