    Hello,
    Top right looks like Sambucus nigra Sutherlandii. Picture 8 looks like Eucalyptus pauciflora (possibly subsp. Niphophila). I recognise a couple of others but couldn't tell you the names. Sorry!

    The flowering rosette looks like a Beschorneria. The pinkish-flowered shrub is a Deutzia. Possibly the blunt-leaved shrub is a feijoa (Acca).

    #2 might be a Penstemon, which probably doesn't help much.

    Thanks for the good help, I googled the names and found them helpfull! The only few things I know, that #2 is an evergreen upright small 1.5m shrub and the leaves are very aromatic. #5 is a clump forming perennial about 1.5 m tall with 4-5cm sunflower like flowers. #6 is originaly from New Zeland, and I been told it has red flowers, I have never seen yet.
    I hope this helps a little bit, I have hard time to get these plants ID...
    Thanks for the help!

    2 is a Prostanthera, probably P. rotundifolia

    7 and 9 both Corokia, either C. buddlejoides or C. x virgata

    5 - have trouble believing this is Sambucus nigra, inflorescence and flowers seem quite wrong. But maybe Sambucus.

    8 - agree is most likely E. pauciflora; doubt you could tell whether it's subsp. niphophila.

    Would have been a mistake for S. racemosa 'Sutherland Gold'. However, I think the prominently toothed leaflets are more likely from S. racemosa 'Plumosa Aurea'.

    Thanks for the help so fahr.
    #5 looks like Inula for me but not magnifica, does not grow tall like that, and I have magnifica in the garden identified.
