Name that Plant
October 9th, 2006 by sallad
Can you identify these plants in our yard? I can’t.
Hints: (1) This was in a pot delivered from my Mom’s house. (2) I thought this was a forsythia before it turned red. (3) I’m guessing a wild tree next to the creek. The branches are pinkish. (4) Another wild tree by the creek? - or is it a wanderer from my neighbor’s blueberry trees?

#1 is impatiens, #2 looks like forsythia, but I don’t remember the leaves being that purple. The shape is right for forsythia, and the flower is the right color. Is it something we planted or something already in your garden. We planted 2 forsythias on Richard’s side of your back yard. I think #3 is some kind of ash or possibly a honey locust. No idea about #4.
Aww, I wonder if the impatien was a leftover seed in the pot. The leaves are much bigger than the ones I bought at Home Depot. The forsythia is one we planted by Richard’s yard.
Yes, the impatiens was left from a seed. The forsythia looks like it has gotten a good start. Look behind it and see if the second one is still alive before it loses it’s leaves. If so, you might tie a plastic tie around each so they aren’t mistake for leafless weeds and cut down in the winter.
