These are from the yard of the house we just bought in the winter .. .. so i have no idea what these are .. but i would like to know what they are ... im posting close ups then of almost full shots .. so 2 pics of each .. thanks in advance for the help .. Marion
Marn, I think the ratty #2 bush (needs shaping) is a Snowball. The leaves look about right and the clusters of flowers, smaller than a hydrangea are greenish and open to white. Take a look at the pics on the net under 'snowball'. It's a viburnum in the Honeysuckle family. barb
Thanks i will take a look at it ... all the snowball bush's ive seen have been more bush like and grow big and round .. this is a tree .. long thick stalks "woody" the flowers seem biger also .. i was told what that was by the previous owner but i dont remember now .. :( thanks .. Marion
well this one is more like a tree not a bush at all .. ill try and take more pics of it tomorow so you can see what im talking about .. thanks .. Marion
3. and 4. Agree with saltcedar. Viburnum opulus Roseum, it can grow very big .Definitely a Viburnum. http://images.google.com/images?q=V...1I7SUNA_en-GB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi 5. and 6. Please can you add pics when it comes into leaf/flowers 7.and 8. Looks like a Spirea, possibly S. betulifolia. http://images.google.com/images?hl=...=spirea betulifolia&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi Sorry chimera!
I have mine hedged as it is along a path. Height is about 6 ft. all the flowers are on top because of pruning. The one down the garden looks more like yours. I prune it out every couple of years and seems to get quiet large flowers. Liz
Thanks ya guys for the ID's on the ones ya got .. ..the first one you ID's as the snowball bush (well tree in my case) does get beautifull fall colors .. i had seen it right near the end and it was beautifull .. actually i remembered I had taken some pics of the backyard before we bought it .. and nope it dont look like that no more .. we have cleaned it up alot .. thats how the previous owners left it .. .. but you get the idea of the "tree" and then you can just see the lil tree in pic set #1 .. so does the "possibly S. betulifolia" produce lil berries that the birds eat and drop all over ??.. does this explain why i have so many runners sprouting up in my yard ??.. lol.. Thanks again guys .. Marion
*****BUMP***** Does anyone know what the rest are ?? the vine i guess i would have to wait till the leaves come out .. but in the mean time does anyone have a suggestion as to what it might be ??.. Thanks ya guys .. Marion
