I have 2 plants and trying to figure out the names.

One had pink small flowers and the other plants see the leaves.

Can't tell what the left plant is, but think the one on right may be a wildfiower called Shortspur Seablush. What climate zone do you live in?

Left one looks like Ligustrum japonicum.

The one on the right with the pink flowers reminds me of spirea. An example:

The one on the left has me a little stumped but reminds me of a holly.

The one on the left looks like a cherry laurel to me. The one on the right also reminds me of Spirea like Willow noted above....

The one on the left looks like a Chinese or Japanese privet (ligustrum) as noted above. I say that due to the opposite leaf and the white spots.

On the one on the right, its unclear from the pictures if the leaves are opposite or alternate on the stems. That, the flower and the shape of the leaf will help identify it:

The left one could be English laurel. The leaves seem too big to be ligustrum.

English laurel leaves are alternate; the leaves in the picture are opposite.

I think #1 is ligistrum and #2 is spirea.
