A shrubby thing growing on a shale outcrop across the creek from my
property: http://home.alltel.net/~jmshaffer/img_1907_crop.jpg
It's not on an inhabited plot of land, but I can't find it in any of
my tree or wildflower books.

Then there's this growing between some daylilies. I can't find it in
the wildflower books either:

The first one looks like an azalea, probably a deciduous one if you
took this picture recently. The flower is dead on, with 6 stamens, and
you can see some weevil feeding damage on one of the leaves at the top
left. Not sure on the second one.

Thanks, I had no idea such things existed. After a web search, the
best match seems to be Rhododendron arborescens, except that I haven't
detected a scent yet, or Rhododendron viscosum, except that the leaves
are smooth. I wonder if it's some intermediate form?

would you say the second flowers look anything like the pic in the following
