    Thanks for any help on these please:

    1: The first seems to be a shrub about 2 ft high, it has small white flowers which have just opened and variegated leaves.

    We had about 50 odd plants given to us the other day (not 100%if I want to keep all of them.
    2: The first one is almost silver in colour and velvet to the touch.

    3: The small shurb below might be called Euphorbia but 100% sure and there is a hint of Red in the leaves

      1. Looks like Philadelphus innocence.

      http://www.esveld.nl/htmldiaen/p/phinno.php

      https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Philadelphus 'Innocence'&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=rM_6T6vBItLX8QOq6OzCBw&biw=1091&bih=525&sei=r8_6T7vZJoeL8gPT9vm0Bw

      Normally Philadelphus have 4 petals.
      However looking on www for a good link several pics seem to show 5 petal flowers.plants as well.

      Agree with others as named by Aesculus
      2.Stachys bysantinus.
