I found a few plants that I can't Identify, any ideas?

Plant 1 Cercis canadensis Redbud






Plant 2  Viola sp. Wild Violet


Plant 3 Myrica cerifera, Southern Waxmyrtle


Plant 4 Cherry


The large part is the main trunk of this plant. You have to overlook the vine growing on it.


Plant 5 (Anise Tree)


I really enjoyed my walk and these plants' show of color livened it up a good bit.

Plant 4 looks like a cherry to me. # 5 looks like some kind of magnolia. What do I knows. ::)

I found a flowering shrub I am going to post in hopes somebody can identify. I've never seen it before.

Plant 1 is definitely a redbud, got one in my backyard with flowers just like that.  Plant 2 is a wild violet: http://www.uky.edu/Ag/ukturf/weed%20id/Wild%20Violet.htm

Thanks for all the help guys. Now I need to get some of those aluminum tags and start labeling some of them.

We still have #4 to go.  I am still puzzled.  Maybe if i saw it in person ;D.  Can you bring me a twig next Tuesday?

#4 Looks like a species of plum. I think a see a pair of unopened flower buds on the first twig.

Let's see if this helps.

Here is a close up of the leaf. Also, see the note below on the second picture of #4.


If this doesn't do it, I can stop by and get a twig Tuesday.

Speaks to me and says plum.  ;D Those emergent leaves also tell me the flowers are not white, because of the pinkish fringe. They may possibly look white, but closeup they will be light pink or darker. ;D

That's how I tell rose bloom color.

Which flowers are you talking about SD? Plant 1? If so, those flowers are purple when you are standing right there in front of it.

Plant 4 is a completely different plant than #1.

Talking about the leaves in #4, the spring flush of leaves will give you a hint to the flower color.

I guess you can call me color challenged then, I can't see it.  :)

Leaves look a little too big for a native plum.  But it does look like a fruit tree, maybe peach.

That would fit to if they go wild down there I suppose. ;D

I'd bet your anise-tree that plant #4 is just a black cherry.  If it were a plum, it would be in bloom right now.  Plus, it has more lenticels than most of our native plums.

Who said anything about native? :D

We can't rule cherry out, but I was sure I seen an umbel on a twig. I mean it's flushed from the bud, but not open. Only Radar knows I guess.

I'm not 100% sure SD. There are cherries growing in the area. I plan to break off a twig for WDH to see Tuesday when we have supper together. We'll know for sure then. ;)

Probably end up being cherry then. But I have had peach as well here and they are heavy on the lenticel department to.

Dodgy,

You are probably right.  It looked fruity, but somehow black cherry did not strike home  :).
