Can someone tell me the names of these plants

Replying to myself here, but I also think technology adds to this problem, I started out reading books, sometimes I'd read a book over and over again, the names were there in my head.

Nowdays I rarely touch my old books, just wander around the internet where you can get the info up in a few seconds.
I just find the fact that there is so much info available I often dont digest it anymore.

 

Thanks for that Fred.

 

Picea Pungens 'Lucretia' perhaps?

It is available for Android phones , just going to try it this morning !

That is 39% better than I can do

 

Well the "Picture This " android app. worked a treat . It's like Shazam for plants ( ask your kids).
Tried it on a few of my plants , and it instantly identified them to a choice of three. Thanks for the pointer @Paul Raybould
We still need Pete and Silversurfer et al for pinpoint ID and tips . You can't replace that depth of knowledge with a micro-chip

 

I agree whole heartedly that you can’t beat plant knowledge and I would love to instantly recognise plants, however I’m a complete garden novice so I intend to use the app to ID plants I like to see if they will work in my garden and also to slowly build up my knowledge of plants etc
