    Thanks again to everyone who has helped with my previous requests over the past week. Thanks to all your help, I've managed to identify virtually all of the plants in my garden but I have three plants still to identify. They are:
    1. A bush, over 2m tall with fairly thick, waxy leaves of 5-6cm in length. It also has fruits as shown in the second photo

    2 A plant growing under a broom bush and getting a little shaded out. I've missed the chance to get the flowers but you can see the dead head of one. This is a small shrub, reaching around 50cm in height;leaves are around 12cm in length. IMG_20210724_125738.jpg
    3 another plant that's getting rather shaded out. About 1m in height. Leaves again about 12cm in length but are also thick and waxy (unlike 2).

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
    Just remembered one more plant:
    4 as you can see, it has large, geranium like leaves but unfortunately does not produce geranium-like flowers, just the tiny, light green flowers you can see:

    Thanks very much

      4. Definitely Alchemilla mollis. A favourite of flower arrangers. Usually used as a border plant as it is low growing but spreads very easily and fairly tough to dig out when established (not deep roots but lots of soil grabbing roots.
