Is #2 a Spicebush? I was just looking at one on another thread and thought it had strong resemblances.
I took my husband to doctor few days ago and saw something I have never seen before, It was a beautiful gold, variegated, wintergreen, grass-like plant. I looked it up when I got home and found it was called 'Bowles Golden Sedge carex elata 'Aurea', In picture the landscaper is using this plant as an annual for winter color along with Pansies!
If left in the ground these will get two feet high and wide.
