    These are all plants that I have growing wild in my yard. Some of them are very attractive, I would like to be able to identify them before making decisions concerning what to do with my landscaping. New home put on undeveloped property.
    Thank you so much for your help.
    The first I believe to be honey suckle, but I am not certain.
    The second and third pictures are a close up and full picture of a small shrub I assume.
    The fourth and fifth pictures are a close up and full view of a plant that was rather large and had to be removed to get the house in, it has now started to regrow, there are a couple of older leaves in the pic.
    The Last two are of a very small bush type plant that I noticed flowering recently.
    Again thank you for your help.

    Last two look like garden peas (Pisum sativum) to me.

    The first pic might be Lonicera, the 4th and 5th maybe Viburnum tinus? The last ones look like peas or something related.

    Thank you, I did some further research and with your help was able to identify the huneysuckle as Lonicera japonica. Still working on the others........I did check on the
    Viburnum tinus and I do not believe that to be it, this plant has never bloomed to my knowledge.

    I tried Vaccinium, as much as I wish this was the plant it does not appear to be. The new growth has almost a red tint to it, very delicate when new.
    Also on the 'garden pea', I have searched and searched, the plant outside has different leaves than any of the peas I can find. As the limbs grow 5 leaves will appear (3 big 2 small) the limb will continue through those leaves and about two inches up there will appear 5 more. On the stem with the blooms there is only bunches of two leaves.

    Well the pea looking plant is actually a Baptisia bracteata. Thank you all for your help.
