Can anyone identify this plant please?

I'll start it off with Euonymus.

Not sure - any chance of a closer up pic? The growth habit its showing isn't typical of Euonymus

Not a good photo but it could be Elaeagnus.

Is it variagated or is the sun on it? Because the rigid top third looks like pyracantha but that has a darker leaf and very thorny and is not variagated.

Well Drc, that's what I was thinking, but there IS a version of Pyracantha that has leaves like this - its often a dwarf form, though not always, but is much slower growing than the usual ones. But does it have thorns - can't tell that from the pic

Can we ask for a closeup of the foliage?

oooh yes a close up would be great looks lovely
and am very jealous of how good your soil looks too

I can't help on the name but to make you feel better about b).....
One of the first questions I posted on here was a request for identification of a tall blue flower which I said I thought must be a wanderer, possibly a weed, because I would never have planted it where it was.

Fractal confidently identified is as Lobelia Siphilitica.

Hmmm - a couple of days ago I was moved to wonder what the plant label was in my post box which hangs outside the gate. Yes indeed, when I turned it over: Lobelia Siphilitica.

That means that sometime last autumn, or even possibly this spring, who knows, I not only bought the plant, planted it, found the label on the pavement and popped it into the box for safe keeping, all without having the slightest recollection of doing so......

Hi Bambo - Pyracantha Sparkler is a variagated (creamy) with orange berries firethorn variety and Harlequin is another with red berries both have white flowers.

Junie - we all do it! LOL.

thanks all for making me feel better! Have just got home after a long day out so will get a better close-up tomorrow xx

Everybody forgets things, even recent things. That's perfectly normal.
Some folk will forget things that they have made every effort to remember. This is perfectly normal too.
However, remembering that you had something to remember, but cannot remember what it is, is a bit more serious, but even that is quite common.
Gardeners are known for talking to their plants, and indeed themselves, but most of us aren't even slightly suspect.
The only problem comes, when talking to yourself, you begin to lose the argument, and I can tell you this now, that there is nothing worse than losing the argument over something that you cannot remember.
Have no fear - you have a long way to go.

Have had it confirmed that it is Eleagnus! I would like to be able to say that my lovely soil is the result of hours of digging, but the truth is that it is top soil that was delivered a few weeks ago. Thanks again everyone for your input, and making me laugh.

Which Elaeagnus Junie? I like the pale variegation on this one. And Drc, glad you found the varieties I alluded to.

will find out for you Bamboo

Sorry everyone (especially Bamboo), I went back to the Garden Centre yesterday and can confirm that it is Rhamnus (which I remember buying cos it is a very shady border). Absolutely definite this time!

Rhamnus crocea: Spiny Redberry perhaps? thanks for letting us know.
