Here are the rest of the mystery plants at the new house:
I've never seen anything like this one before Plant 1 What kind of vine is growing in the vinca? Plant 2 This bush has square stems Plant 3 Close up of square stems Close up Is this a specific type of pine tree or is it diseased? Plant 4 I thought this was an herb growing in the vinca but it has no smell Plant 5 Some type of flower? Plant 6 Another flower? Plant 7
That's all I've found so far that I can't identify. I'm so glad I found this forum!

I took another look at the bush (plant 3) and realized there were little yellow flowers blooming now. My husband says he recalls some of the bushes looking pretty last fall so maybe I just missed it in the chaos of moving in. Does burning bush have yellow blooms?
#3 is a burning bush, they do have small insignificant flowers, & only turn bright red if they grow in full sun, if in the shade they will not turn red
#4 hemlock tree
#5
#6 is a lily there are varieties that bloom at different times
#7

I don't know what that one is that you see that is allllll white and I told you to squeeze it, *but I know I have it too, on a couple of scrub trees* It's like a bug really, like living thing..
But I don't know what it is..
And I find it on the plants/trees that are stressed....

2. Hadn't considered honeysuckle. There are several "bushes" that are blooming already, maybe this one is just late
3. The bush is in partial shade so that explains why I don't remember red leaves last fall. A shame since the google pictures are just beautiful.
4. Being a hemlock tree explains the white goo on it. Hemlock web page "The human-imported nemesis of our wonderful hemlocks is the Asian hemlock wooly adelgids (Adelges tsugae). These tiny aphid-like insects, that cover themselves in a white, sticky goo that looks like marshmallow-fluff, were first seen on the west coast in the 1920���s."
Looks like these trees might have to be cut down. I will have to find out who to contact to see what to do with them. I wanted to eventually chop them anyway since they are right next to the house.
6. I LOVE daylillies so I'm really glad to hear I have different varieties and bloom times.

For #8 - I didn't notice this one until it was already this size. I'll make sure to take Weezies advice and keep posting pictures while things start to bloom.
This new property is very intimidating for a newbie gardner!

I just looked up creeping baby's breath and it doesn't look quite like that. Now that little shoots are coming up it is looking more like dianthus.
I also compared plant 2 (mystery vine) with the honeysuckle we have growing and it isn't the same shape leaf. I'm hoping the vine will bloom but so far no buds have formed. If it is just a plain vine I will rip it out since it is taking over the whole area pretty quick.
