Need help with "let's identify my every Perennials"

[Pepper]

Alas I missed Round 2 - I can't stay awake until 8:30 pm like the rest of you night owls!

Yah, that's right, I go to bed really early...but I get up really early, so it's not THAT pathetic...

Congratulations BBQ and Murphy!

The rhodos tend to have much larger fleshier leaves.

PJM and likely every rhodie commercially available are hybrids.( Except maybe R. impeditium!)
PJM is one termed a Lepidote....the group has typically smaller leaves that are covered in fine scales on the bottom. They are often among the earliest to bloom.
The PJM are in full bloom here at the Willow Garden....

The other group are Elepidotes, and include the "typical" large-leaf rhodies.

MonaCda.....could it be a variety of Lilac...they have so many these days...do those blooms smell??

Sharon...beautiful....

Mona...Flowering Almond??? What is the stink factor on those flowers????

[Hushypuppy]

Mona, Does the tree get any fruit. The leaves look like that of a fruit tree, but the flowering branch does not look quite right...

Hi All,

Andre hope you don't mind me hijacking your post. Would like to ask everyone for help identifying this tree.

It is a couple of years old now and is in the back by the garage (all day sun). Roughly 10 ft tall now and am hopeful that after being ID'd we'll be happy for the new addition to our yard. Any info would be most appreciated, e.g., name, mature height, does it sucker?? Thanks for any suggestions. Mona

mona, this is a Prunus (cherry) of some sort.

Possibly a MayDay (Prunus padas).

[Ron Evers]

It looks to me to be a Choke Cherry (Prunus virginiana L).

[murphy]

the choke cherry I have has much smaller blooms..perhaps there are different varieties...mine is a native.
