2a, b and c are junipers. Most probably communis. It is quite prickly to the touch, right?

The first looks like a Callistemon of some kind...

I'd guess melaleuca hypericifolia from the little I can see of the first one but for a second guess I'd go along with Matt. A better pic of leaf shape and the end of a growing branch would give more idea.
The second is a juniper but there are so many species, varieties and cultivars.

Callistemon salignus has short leaves when young that look like this. It also has the white papery bark pictured here.

3 4 and 5 are probably juniperus squamatas prostratus.1st and 2nd im not sure.
Even the most unfortunate try to reach a common goal, and thus, they shall be rewarded.
Being smart, is not trying to be smart.
the only reason critics say bad things is because they can't do it themselves.
