And the first one does look like viburnum; the leaves don't seem right for mountain laurel. We have a lot of those yellow dandelion-ish flowers in our yard, but they are definitely NOT dandelions! Not sure I like the idea of "rattlesnake weed", but so long as it doesn't attract the snakes, I guess it's OK!Kimberleyhttp://cosmosandcleome.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-88990308218882858002012-06-05T18:16:25.596-04:002012-06-05T18:16:25.596-04:00Thank you for posting and for helping me with this...Thank you for posting and for helping me with this. I have someone else, in an email, who thought the first photo was a viburnum, possibly Viburnum dentatum. The second, she agreed was a wild geranium, Geranium maculatum. The third (the foliage definitely was not dandelion, which is what attracted my eye, she feels is rattlesnake weed, Hieracium venosum. The last one, she thinks is blackberry and not a rugosa rose. The canes were definitely full of thorns but I don't seem to recall blackberry flowers as large as these were. I am not anywhere near the level of Latin names, and want to thank those who helped me with this.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-89782551079243156512012-06-05T12:36:09.133-04:002012-06-05T12:36:09.133-04:00The first photo looks like mountain laurel.

Were they on a tree or a bush?Jo Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005237887461809640noreply@blogger.com
