Dear botanists & gardeners,

Would one of you be so kind as to look at this image and tell me what
species each of these these two trees are?

The image link is he
http://www.flickr.com/photos/salimfa...74185?edited=1

You will have to mouse-over the image to see the highlight marks. If
you click on the magnifying glass icon above the image you can see a
higher-resolution image of the same shot which will allow you to see
the shapes of the individual leaves.

Thanks!

Tree one looks like a weeping spruce, several species have weeping forms,
so I can't say if this is a norway spruce or some other. The other one
isn't distinct enough with the flowers for me to say.

I thought that the first one looked like a Chamaecyparis. The foliage of
the second looks like cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus), but the
flowers don't seem quite right (too small).

But there's not enough detail visible for me to make a positive
identification of either.

I had that impression, too.

Privet came to my mind, though I doubt that's right.

But there's not enough detail visible for me to make a positive
identification of either.

Agree with that.

Wonder where these mystery trees are located...

There is Ligustrum lucidum, sometimes known as glossy privet, or
largeleaf privet, though I doubt that as well

Agree with that.

Appears to be European, location could help.
