0 John Richmond Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Forsythia x intermedia. There are a few different varieties of this cross - Lynwood, Spectabilis and others and they all look similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this plant also called "border forsythia'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 John Mitchell Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Here are a couple more spring flowering shrubs that I'd appreciate some help identifying. This one is very common where I live. I'm pretty sure that these are azaleas. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 John Richmond Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Pieris japonica for the top one, John. Evergreen azalea for the second one - can't tell you the exact cultivar, there are a lot of different reds, but it's certainly similar to 'Hinode Giri', one of the Karume hybrids.

Thanks once again, John. Had never heard of the first one. Bet you were amazed that I could recognize azaleas. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 John Mitchell Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Unfortunately, my botanical skills don't seem to be improving, so I'm in need of help again. Does anyone know what this pretty plant might be? Thanks a bunch in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Marianne Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 The one with white flowers is Andromeda (Pieris japonica) and yes the one below that is Azalea. We have Forsythia and the other two in our yard. I always wish the yellow flowers of the forsythia would last all summer and not just through spring. Sorry I've never seen the last one with the yellow flowers but I'm sure someone more knowledgable here has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 John Mitchell Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Thanks again, everyone. I think I'm up-to-date on my flowering plants for the time being. You can bet that I'll be back soon, though...🤢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
