    Hello everyone. I would really appreciate some ID help for each of these shrubs in our new garden. They are all well established. I am a beginner but am so enjoying a new lease of life with this lovely garden! Thank you so much for any help! :new:

    1. Iris sp.
    Maybe Iris sibirica.

    2. Crataegus sp. Possibly one called Crataegus laevigata Crimson Cloud.

    3. There seem to be plants growing together.
    The orange/yellow flowers look like Cytisus scoparius Lena.
    But I would be more certain if you would add another pic to this thread showing a close ups of the one plant with leaves and flowers.

    I thought it was Abutilon ... I obviously didn't look very closely!

    Thank you so much Silver surfer! they seem to be the right match:blue thumb: I will take a close up of the 3rd one but it does really look like a Cytisus scoparius Lena, Its a tree around 5ft, well it seems 'like' a tree but could be a shrub! will get back to you
