    Hi All, I want to get more involved in my garden. However I have hardly any clue as to what the names of these shrubs are so I cannot look up the care guide or pruning guide. Any care or pruning tips welcome otherwise I am happy to look them up in my book or on the web.

    (This is part 1.)

    #1 - large shrub in arch shape

    #2 - medium shrub

    #4 is a Japanese Maple, aka Acer, but I don't know which one. Can't help with the rest, sorry.

    1 looks like Kolkwitzia
    2 requires a closer picture a bit far away to tell.
    3 Wistaria
    4 Acer ,as clueless says.

    1. Looks like a Deutzia sp. Close ups of the open flowers would assist with an accurate id.
    2. Cornus sp.
    3. Wisteria sp.
    4. Acer palmatum... possibly just Acer palmatum atropurpurea
    OR maybe a named cultivar.
    A. Looks like a Pyracantha.
    B. Yes Lonicera sp. Common name Honeysuckle.
    C. Looks like Euonymus sp.

    May I suggest that in future you add new plants to a new thread, rather than extending an existing thread with more pics.
