the first picture looks like daphne odora marginata, the second might be the variegated pittosporum.

I think the pale leaved one is a Pittosporum - but not expert enough to identify variety. The other has me beaten.

Are you in a place that doesn't get severely cold winter weather - there's a hardy Gardenia (Kleim's hardy) and a delightful plant called Pittosporum tobira (there seems to be a variety called 'nanum' and a variegated one!). I've never seen a dwarf Choisiya, and Ceanothus has only a light scent.
Do you want the scent in summer?
Maybe Sarcococca humilis (sweet box) might do if you want scent earlier in the year.

Thank you for your suggestions Anna, Maggie and Andrew
I think the suggestion of the pittosporum tenuifolium is probably correct - mystery solved!

My first guess would be a holly, its difficult to see the buds,if you had a picture of them, it would help to narrow it down, also underside of leaf and close up of leaf surface. Second guess would be a Pittosporum, P. tenuifolium 'Gold Star' looks very similar though leaf is possibly smaller.

Thank you Tania. That looks exactly right! A pittosporum tenuifolium it is. It is obviously happy where it is as it has reached a height of 5 metres. Is it O.K. to top it out as we don't want it to get any taller? Many thanks

The first is a black elder - Sambucus nigra. Lovely pink elderflowers followed by berries that are edible (but not really nice to eat without lots of sugar to make them into cordial or jelly).
The second looks like Campanula muralis - look for blue flowers in a little while.
The third could be almost anything but at a guess is some kind of Pittosporum.

Hi, Jacqueline,
The only Pittosporum know to harm other plants in close proximity is Pittosporum undulatum. P. tenuifolium should not be a problem. What is happening with your shrubs?

Thanks! Yes I had another vote for Pittosporum Silver Queen too. Sounds like a popular variety.

Hi.
Most pittosporums are fine with full sun.In fact variegated ones are best in sunlight.
Plain tenuifolium or ten' "silver queen" are probably the most widely sold.
You need to consider the ultimate height of your hedge and how regularly they will be pruned. Pitto's prune ok in spring & summer...they can look a bit battered if they have heavy pruning.
Another thing regarding this species as a hedge, they dont much like cold drying winds during winter so think about how exposed they will be in the winter months.

Euonymous maybe? Does it flower at all? Is it evergreen? Or a Pittosporum?
