Can anyone identify these plants please?

LAST FEW!!!!! WELL DONE IF YOU SURVIVED THIS FAR!!
41) small tree that looked dead but has sprouted a couple of leaves I the last week or so.. Slight red tinge?? Bark looks like it peels off.. Bit wind damaged, salty sea wind.
42) weird small black plant.. Only about 10-15cm across,very flat, just sprouting a new shoot or two from the middle. Obviously planted on purpose by the previous owner as they had the back landscaped (with plants that I not sure particularly like being near the sea!?)

THANK YOU!!!!

I've had a chnge of mind. I think 13 may be dogwood, so what's 11? Hmmm...

eta - maybe both dogwood?

[Two_Sheds]

42) is ophiopogon


I'm too tired to look at any of the others, might have a go tomorrow

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! You guys are fab I'm up and about and back at work now so less time to potter in my garden... I hope to get out there this weekend so I can look into the care of some of the plants you've named. At the moment it's all just growing like mad!! I desperately need to dive in t here and kill off thistles and quickly spreading bindweed!!!

Glad you're back on your feet kt.
You must let us know what the true identity of each of your plants is

[kt6382]

Aargh I've been offline too long! But back and it's my summer how,days soon so bigger garden jobs can commence! I will get checking onshore of the identifications you guys have made... One I'm going to look up right now is number 2... Which was a completely dead looking tree but then came out with hundreds of small purple drooping flowers which the bees loved! Beautiful! & still going just starting to turn into small green fruits or berries with seeds??

[Jeanied]

No 13 looks like one of the dogwoods - cornus. It would be easier to tell in winter, when the stem colour really shines through.

[Scarlet]

As no-ones suggested 9. Acanthus mollis - bears breeches
