I have more than these to post when I get images of them. These are growing in the yard.
There are three different flowers f1,f1a are the same - these are almost like a bush about 6 ft tall f2,f2a are the same - note they flower with a few blue flowers and are about 3 - 3 1/2 ft tall I couldn't find any with the blue flowers on them as I weeded them out with my weeder f3,f3a,f3b are the same these are about 1 ft tall Scrolling over the image with the mouse will tell you the image name |

Here's one more - forgot to post it with the others
|
Number 3 and 4 are tradescantia.
|
8 and 9 might be Mockorange.
|
nancyruhl thanks - they are trying to take over my yard. Pretty but evasive here.
salix I googled Mockorange and they could be but the ones I have don't quit look like the google images. |
For 1 and 2, I think at a Ligustrum (in french: 'tročne')
The Ligustrum vulgare is a shrub native of Europe and North Africa. |
Agree with Rainette, f1 and f1a look like Ligustrum vulgare, aka European privet.
It's used for hedges but birds eat the berries and the seeds then get "planted" with the birds' droppings. |
Rainette thanks- I did a google search and the one in these pictures looks like it - they have a good smell. I'm trying find out what these flower are as I did't plant them they started growing about two and three years ago -I was also wondering if they birds left them behind.

So far those little birds have brought me wild black berries (which are ripping now) and muscadine grapes (which the neighbor thought was weeds growing on my fence and he sprayed them with round-up and killed them), fox grapes which I killed because I didn't know grapes where that small plus many more gifts. I think they are trying to build a bird's paradise here:lol: If only I could train them where to plant. |
Are the white flowers in 4 and 4a from a bush or a vine?

A bush like - they are over 10 ft if the did not bend over. They appear to be one stalk each growing in a bunch. |
Probably Mockorange as Salix said. A pic of the bush would help to confirm but generally the bush does look like a thick bunch of tall, thin sticks that branch out a little near the tips. The flowers are very fragrant.

I have these blackberries growing all along the fence and carport- are these eatable blackberries? Do you know what type they are?
|
John, the recent post with yellow flowers looks like some type of honeysuckle. The one next to it looks like Heavently Bamboo, which is not a bamboo at all. Nandinia I think is the actual name. Dont know about the blackberrys there are a lot of diffenent kinds. Hope you like them they are hard to kill......;)

I think those are just called wild blackberries, but someone please correct me if I am wrong. And I am pretty sure you can eat them, because we had them growing all over a field near our house when we were little, and we all would eat them... A LOT of them, so if they were poisonous we would have figured that out pretty quickly... The trandescantia (widow's tears) is a pretty tough plant. Good luck trying to yank those out, LOL... when i first moved here i tried to get rid of some... they merely mocked me. I have long since given up since I decided I like the way they open in the morning and close up at dusk. |

I dont know about those red berries, but the flowers on the left look like pink honeysuckle. We had white ones in the same field as the blackberries and we would sip the nectar out of them. Now that I think of it, we were always eating things that grew wild in that field:lol: and it's somewhat amazing we didn't get sick, LOL. We also had these things we consider weeds but they were this tall stalk with indigo berries that were poisonous - thankfully we knew not to try those. But we would mash up the berries in water and "dye" our pants and shirts... that was a day everyone got spanked with the wooden spoon, LOL |

Thanks Sun City Linda. LOL the blackberries I think I could pick about 2 gal now and they are still ripping up more berries. I like blackberry cobbler (made with a more pasty dough stripes instead of what i call biscuits) and make a smoothie with adding some milk and ice cream. |

When we where little we would stop when visiting relatives and friends when they where growing and pick them- Mom made them into cobbler's. |

LOL I guess you didn't forget that spoon. LOL things we did when we where kids. I remember we used to chew on this grass that was bitter sweet. Well the honeysuckle(s) and blackberries seem to be fighting over who gets most of the fence to climb on. |
For the picture of the post n° 12 I think at a Philadelphus Coronarius (= Seringat)
|
And for the post n° 13
Lonicera periclymenum and Nandina domestiqua if I do not make mistakes, of course :) |
