Help identifying plants!

morg_monster

Hiya, the garden in our new house is coming to life and so many gorgeous plants and trees are coming up, so far we have a magnolia stellata, a dogwood, a gorgeous azalea and camellia. A few more things have come up and my mum (usual plant IDer!) is stumped. So I was hoping some of you might be able to help?! Thanks!

This first one is a small tree, about 7ft tall



This one is a low shrub/bush


This one is a low groundcover type thing (the flowers look a bit bigger than they really are I think, 2cm-ish)


oh i love this one! Another tree, but quite small in height, but it spreads out pretty far. No leaves on it yet, just these unusual flowers growing straight from the branches.


Thanks very much for looking!!!

is the bottom pic a daphne ? very fragrant and the pic above looks like wood anenome ? the second one may be a hazel not too sure and the ffirst pic has me totally stumped ( looks beauttiful though ) am sure someone will be around with correct identificatins for you . the garden sounds lovely

3rd one looks very like hellebores, christmaas roses. sorry cant help more- beautiful plants though!

Hm we have hellebores elsewhere in the garden but i guess they could be another type. keep the ideas coming! off to google them all.

moomi

the 3rd one, try anemones- they are ringing more bells than hellebores- usually bright colours like blue, purple, red but these just look closed rather than open as you would usually see. See what i mean about the leaves?

moomi

hmm, maybe not either- curious now!

1st one looks like a philadelphus ( first photo I found here ).
2nd - the leaves look like a hazel of some sort but not sure about the flower.
3rd - agree with the wood anemone identification.
4th - yes, looks like a daphne - is there a scent?

Thanks, I will try to remember to sniff next time I'm out there!

My hubby wondered what I was doing, as I google image searched "hazel" and "daphne" ... Mostly scantily clad ladies!

I think pic 4 is Cercis Siliquastrum or Judas tree.

4 is definitely Cercis. Mine is out at the moment.

3 is an anemone, but which one? Our local ones were out a week or two ago.

2 is a fothergilla

1 is errr...........You've beaten me!

1. Halesia carolina (or perhaps monticola?)- Snowdrop tree
2.Fothergilla major - American Witch Hazel
3. Anemone blanda (white - sorry not certain of variety)
4.Cercis ciliquastrum - The Judas Tree

Lucky you someone with fab eye for plants - Fothergilla is my fav - autumn colour second to none!
