Shrubs under the trees

 

This is an update on my post of the 10th of April 2026. The shrubs that I planted years ago are still thriving under the tall leylandii along the back fence. Today they had to be pruned, as they were growing over the lawn, and I couldn't get past that round shrub at the far end of the photo. 

I took the opportunity to take some photos and, using PlantNet, identified them all. Starting at the far end with the lonicera xylosteum (dwarf honeysuckle). 

Next are three Berberis darwinii Hook (Darwin's barberry).

Then the euonymus japonicus Thunb (Japanese spindle). No idea where that came from.

Next comes two viburnum tinus L. (Laurestine).

And then the cotoneaster.

Before the last of the viburnum.

And finally, two vinca major (periwinkle).
