Can anyone help with these plants, sorry the bottom one is a bit blurred,
these are only bits I took of the main plants, both are quite big scrubs.

the top one looks like Escallonia and second is Salvia

The top one looks like a Fuchsia to me and it might be Lottie Hobby.

The second, I agree, is a Salvia and I think it's 'Hot Lips'.

Yes the flower look very fuchia like..but leaves are holly-like and look very shiny and hard.. ??? Almost like the flower and the plant itself are from 2 different plants...this is not early aprils fool trick? ;D

Yes just remembered now, the 2nd one is Salvia Hotlips, but the first one is a smaller bush and the flowers are like tiny bells, in flower at the moment,
goodlife, they are two different flowers, no trick,

Sorry Georie, get confused with all names, should have seen where you live, I also lived there 1959-1982,
thanks again.

No problem, widgetwilk.  What did you think of my suggestion of Fuchsia Lottie Hobby?

Love it here in Enfield, why did you leave?

The first plant is Desfontainea hookerii. I agree the second is Salvia. ;D
