Hi,
We moved into our house last Autumn and left the garden alone to see what
would turn up in the spring. Lots of stuff did Unfortunately most of them
weeds.
Among all that there are a few plants, shrubs, trees that I do not know -
all of them are probably pretty common as this garden seems to just grown
wild for a few years now. Your help in identifying these will be greatly
appreciated. For each of the plants there is a link to my site with the
photo.

1. Is this a plum ? The flower looks like the plums in the RHS books, but
the leaves dont. Its growing in a Laurel hedge. Photo :

2. Is this Lilac ? Any idea as to which variety ? Photo :

3. Unknown shrub 1. This is rather small - approx 2 feet high. Has small,
round white flowers that turn up in the spring. Most of them are gone now.

4. Unknown plant 2. This is a small wispy plant - nice flowers though.
Started to flower a week ago. Photo :

Aquilega. Hardy perennial and will freely self-seed if you don't
deadhead all the flowers.

5. Unknown plant 3. Looks suspiciously like a weed. Photo :

Poss. Valerian. Not pernicious and has attractive flowers.

6. Unknown shrub 4. Approx 4 feet high. Has small round green/white flowers
or buds. http://www.pgnet.plus.com/gardening/Unknown4.jpg

7. Unknown shrub 5. Approx 4 feet high. Has one small red fruit that looks
like a jelly bean. Dont know when the flower appeared - never saw it.

8. Unknown plant 6. Again looks like a weed, rather than a plant.

Poss. Cornflower. Nice blue flower, will self-seed. Worth keeping.

Lastly, unknown tree. Its got a dark brown bark. Approxinately 12-16 feet
tall. I initially thought it might be Rowan - it had small white flowers in
late April/early May, but then when the leaves turned up they look nothing
like the photos from RHS. The flowers did not look like plum flowers either.
There are 2 photos - one of the tree and the other a close up of the leaves.
