Can you help identify this plant?

Some Ivy, a pink/red Heather and pink/red Cyclamen which one did you mean?

looks like one of those nasty shrubs that grown in the med area... no idea of its name right now!

MG they have added more to the question since I answered?

It looks like it could be Russian Thistle - Salsola kali.

Upper left and lower right....no foliage...spiky twigs...I think that is what is being referred to??

Yup I believe so Gilli...

Not sure about Salsola kali Gilli - doesn't look tough enough to me.

It could be Corokia Cotoneaster - 'Wire Netting Bush', a New Zealand native

I think it could be a Leucophyta (formerly Calocephalus).
