Does anyone know what these are please?

Hi these have just appeared over the last couple of days and I have no idea what they are and can't find reference to them in any of my books

This is the first...

 

This is the second one.....

 

And I forgot about this one.... Is it a daylily?

 

1st one looks like a magnolia to me.

 

That's what I thought Bex, I have a magnolia tree and it tends to flower in spring so this one has confused me, the leaves are very different too

 

Yes the last one is a daylily.

 

Thank you Rosebay, I thought it may have been as I have seen a lot of posts on the forums and just needed clarification

 

The first one is an evergreen Magnolia - Magnolia Grandiflora.

 

The second one looks like Cotinus

 

No. 2. Cotinus, common name Smoke bush, cuz when you look at it from a distance it looks hazy like plumes of smoke. If you're lucky it will be one if the ones that in autumn gets a lovely red/purple colour foliage.

 

Thank you at merleworld that's really interesting I will look it up on the internet and have a good read as I think it needs a little bit of work on it next spring

 

Thanks Anthony.................Bush.... its a big tree

I do remember last year that it did change colour and all through winter It shed lots of mid size tumbleweeds that made the garden look like a spaghetti cowboy film set.
