What Kind Of Flowers Are These?

[John3]

I have more than these to post when I get images of them. These are growing in the yard.

There are three different flowers
f1,f1a are the same - these are almost like a bush about 6 ft tall
f2,f2a are the same - note they flower with a few blue flowers and are about 3 - 3 1/2 ft tall I couldn't find any with the blue flowers on them as I weeded them out with my weeder
f3,f3a,f3b are the same these are about 1 ft tall
Scrolling over the image with the mouse will tell you the image name

Here's one more - forgot to post it with the others

Number 3 and 4 are tradescantia.

8 and 9 might be Mockorange.

[John3]

nancyruhl thanks - they are trying to take over my yard. Pretty but evasive here.

salix I googled Mockorange and they could be but the ones I have don't quit look like the google images.

For 1 and 2, I think at a Ligustrum (in french: 'troène')
The Ligustrum vulgare is a shrub native of Europe and North Africa.

Agree with Rainette, f1 and f1a look like Ligustrum vulgare, aka European privet.
It's used for hedges but birds eat the berries and the seeds then get "planted" with the birds' droppings.

Rainette thanks- I did a google search and the one in these pictures looks like it - they have a good smell. I'm trying find out what these flower are as I did't plant them they started growing about two and three years ago -I was also wondering if they birds left them behind.

bcday I was posting when you where posting. Those naughty birds my Grandma would have said.

So far those little birds have brought me wild black berries (which are ripping now) and muscadine grapes (which the neighbor thought was weeds growing on my fence and he sprayed them with round-up and killed them), fox grapes which I killed because I didn't know grapes where that small plus many more gifts. I think they are trying to build a bird's paradise here If only I could train them where to plant.

Are the white flowers in 4 and 4a from a bush or a vine?

A bush like - they are over 10 ft if the did not bend over. They appear to be one stalk each growing in a bunch.

[bcday]

Probably Mockorange as Salix said. A pic of the bush would help to confirm but generally the bush does look like a thick bunch of tall, thin sticks that branch out a little near the tips. The flowers are very fragrant.

Here's another photo of it:

Found two more I don't what they are:

[John3]

I have these blackberries growing all along the fence and carport- are these eatable blackberries? Do you know what type they are?

[Sun City Linda]

John, the recent post with yellow flowers looks like some type of honeysuckle. The one next to it looks like Heavently Bamboo, which is not a bamboo at all. Nandinia I think is the actual name. Dont know about the blackberrys there are a lot of diffenent kinds. Hope you like them they are hard to kill......
