    First 2 pictures are a green plant that seems to crawl across my concrete floor with yellow flowers on it

    The second is a large shrub or tree with little clusters of white flowers

      Aesculus, the flowers look very much like privet but the leaves look a bit too thin for any privet I've seen. So it's probably privet :heehee:. If I was there I would check it by the smell.

      Yes, I think it is privet too. The smell of the bloom would surely give it away!
