The purple stuff in Campanula - Google it and you'll find out more - it self seeds everywhere and looks really pretty this time of year.

The second one looks like Choisya 'Aztec Pearl'

It does look like choisya but the leaves are narrower than the one you normally see. Probably different variant. Likes sun and is evergreen. Do the flowers smell?

Hi!  Thank you.  Yes, the flowers smell, and they smell amazing!...a sort of sweet honey-like smell wafts through the garden day and night.

We also have the white flowered bush.  It is really easy to maintain, I just prune it when it gets too big and it doesnt seem to bother.  Great to have a name though because sometimes I have pruned at the wrong time and have ended up with fewer flowers.
