Hello! Can you help me identify these plants? Much appreciated! I'm the same person who posted the recent thread with the rootbound japanese maple, which you all so kindly provided advice for. here are some more needing identification (I think one of them is a holly - which i have to transplant tomorrow): Thanks!
1. For Michael F. Possibly Cryptomeria japonica Elegans. 2. Now I believe lumped into Rhododendron , commonly called a deciduous Azalea, probably a hybrid. 3. Looks like Cytisus sp. Common name Broom. http://www.google.co.uk/images?um=1...=Cytisus white&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi 4. Looks like Ilex. Probably Ilex aquifolium. Common name holly.
Conifer is not 'Elegans', and probably not any other cryptomeria. Could belong to Chamaecyparis thyoides or perhaps even C. pisifera, it is a fixed juvenile - these can sometimes be hard to place with the correct species. Azalea is one of a great many evergreen hybrids. Holly may be rare for your area, supposedly this species (I. aquifolium) only persists well in cooler coastal strips like Cape Cod. Out here, where the climate has proven too suitable this is a pest species that invades gardens and wooded places.
