ID these two plants
West TN
6 years ago
The first pictures are of bushes blooming on my property in zone 7 (west tn). Some of them have thorns and some don't, but they are all attractive to honey bees here. I want to know what they are so I can plant more of them.
This picture is of a plant I found next to one of the blooming bushes above.
Any information would be helpful.

Comments (10)Agree with above posters, remove the lacework from the portico and even the railing (although cant see it too well) I would also remove the large bush in front of the door and in the centre of the front wall and replace with a one or two tall and large statement plants in pots (dark/black/charcoal coloured) and plant out the garden bed with the same plant the full length, maybe a lavender or something to add a pop of colour. Also add good mulch to both garden beds and a bit of a general garden tidy up will help. Adding a top coat to the lawn will pay dividends at this time of the year! If there is any loose or uneven pavers, fix those up. Potential buyers are always looking for clues to gleam whether the house has been well looked after, and these small details can sometimes be a deterant. I think your house looks grand, not boring. If there is a porch light, maybe update that to something black and modern to reference the dark in the pots and a colourful new doormat. I cant see your front door, but if there is no security screen, paint the door a striking new colour which references your internal decor. As others have said, try to spend as little as possible as, there is no guarantee that the extra spending will be reflected in the sale price. All the best with the sale....See Moreplant ID please
Comments (2)Hi, I can't help you identify it but can let you know I found an app that connects green thumbs round the world - you post pics of plants and they identify it for you. Think it's called SmartPlant™. I used it and they were very quick and informative and spot on!...See MoreMy old two story timber house needs some paint work
Comments (15)Yours is the style of home that can truly be transformed with the right colour. Your house is already a light colour and it doesnt do justice so Id suggest going for a deep colour on the walls top and bottom and making a bold statement - unfortunately this would require repainting the roof as well but I think this would be well worth doing as pale green is going to be very restrictive to the colour you paint the outside. With every second house at the moment seeming to be painted grey Id suggest a different bold colour in blue tone - such as a navy blue, dusty blue or teal-blue with off white/cream for the trims, window frames, garage door and staircase. This colour combination looks stunning with a light silver colour roof (which is available in dulux roof paint) You have a couple of awnings already so Id add another one on the other side over the LH window and front door as they are very close together - this will help balance out the front of the house and add further interest and character. Paint your front door a contrasting colour as well to add further street appeal. Adding some plants up high in the form of window boxes under the front windows, and one under the side window with the awning, planted out with trailing plants (especially silver toned such as variegated ivy, white flowering geraniums, and silver dichondra) would look amazing!

Comments (6)Sounds vaguely like our house - original 60s layout of living at front, then kitchen and dining opening to patio at back. Two extensions in the 50 years since have added a new kitchen and sunroom at the back (including a few steps down here and there) so there are now two living areas and extra space (where old kitchen was) that we've recently converted into a study nook and bar. For previous owners the sunroom has acted as alternately an informal sitting/reading room, and a family room with TV, while original living room at the front was the 'formal' lounge without TV. We have young kids so set up the sunroom as their playroom as it opens to backyard, and front living room as a more standard living room with TV - and have hopes to add a fireplace at some point to cosy it up. I would think about what times of day each area gets the best light, and what are the activities you like doing at those times of day - then structure the rooms around that. Alternatively think about the gatherings you have with people and set one up as a more formal area (or for evenings?) and one more casual (for daytime?)....See More
