This Spiraea came to me from my neighbors yard. I now have four large plants and am constantly weeding them out of my flower beds! I also have one out front called 'Goldflame' that has yellow leaves that are bronze-red when young. I cut these back to about 2 feet after they bloom and usually get more flowers on them.
I'm thinking this is Evening Primrose. I had this years ago and lost it, but I noticed a small amount last year and moved it to a better spot. Maybe some seeds were left in the soil and took a while to sprout?
The shrub on the right was probably given to me by the birds. They eat the red berries and spread the seeds everywhere they go! I can never remember the name of this shrub, but we always called them 'Pricker Bush' when I was a kid. They can tear your arms up when you're trying to clean around them. I'm sure I've forgotten other plants that had wandered in, but these are some of the ones I've enjoyed for free.
