Name that plant

[emmettdigger]

I posted a few pics earlier this week but was asked for more leaf detail. Here are links to a few plants.

Tall bush with green leaves - leaves are sticky sometimes - no flowers that I've seen:

Low growing ground cover. Over the winter it left a mat of dead-looking vines. The leaves started growing just recently.

Another low shrub. Leaves are interesting shape:

Any thoughts?
