    Me again! I submitted a previous post with the first three of six plants that I would like identified. Here are the final three. If you did not read my previous post: I just bought an 18-year-old house that is partially landscaped, and there are some plants in the yard that I would like to know the names of so that I can research how to care for them properly and know if they are in suitable locations. Thank you!

    The first one is a passionflower vine ( Passiflora sp ) .

    It is very difficult to accurately id trees and shrubs when they are dormant and have no leaves on. Especially from a general photo.

    I would like to see new pics, added to this thread, a little later in the year with good pics of the leaves. Then you will get accurate answers.

    I agree wholeheartedly with Silver Surfer - dormant shrubs and trees are nearly impossible to ID.

    And your passiflora is most likely P. caerulea, which is one of the hardiest species.

    The other two look like Cornus florida and Syringa vulgaris.

    I agree with Ron B & Lorax, and must say it'd be nice to be able to grow
    both P. caerulea and Syringa vulgaris in the same location. It's almost
    too cold for P. caerulea in Austin and far too warm for Syringa vulgaris
    to flower (excluding these last two arctic Winters). Cornus is iffy due
    in large part to heat, drought and alkaline clay.

    Thanks for the help and now that I look at these plants on the internet you are correct.
