Plants in the Yard

When I talked to Aunt Marcia this morning I told her I’d be taking some pictures of plants in the yard and sending to her for help identifying what they are… I figured it might be easier just to put ‘em up here, so here we go!

This is the first grouping when you walk out the door from the sun room. On the right is rosemary, but I don’t know what the other two are. Neither have a detectable scent when you crush them…
Here’s a close-up of the middle one (we’ll call this mystery plant 1):
And here’s a close-up of the one on the left (mystery plant 2):

Here’s some rosemary from another grouping — before moving into this house I didn’t realize that rosemary flowered. You can see a few little flowers here:

This is the second grouping in question… The stuff on the right is the same as in the first grouping (mystery plant 2), and although the stuff on the left looks a little bit like mystery plant 1, it’s different (so it’s mystery plant 3):
Here’s a close-up of mystery plant 3. This one DOES have a very distinctive scent when you crush it… lol I can’t describe it, unfortunately. It’s not unpleasant, but nothing I recognize – and not as nice as basil or rosemary.
Here’s the tree that’s in that little grouping – I have no idea what kind it is:

And here’s mystery bush 1; just below our bedroom window we have two of these:Mystery bush 2 – we’ve got two of these on the south wall of the sun room. They look familiar…close-up of mystery bush 2:

And this bush is on the west side of the house:

So those are the plants I can’t identify. :) I didn’t make it out front, other than to snap a couple pictures of the wreath and poinsettias… But I don’t think there’s anything different up there.

    I don't remember what its called, but Mystery Bush 2? I had one at our old house and it was gorgeous in the summer. It would get HUMONGOUS and had these gorgeous flowers on it. I loved it. What is the name of that???
