Would like to know what it is, so I can assist in propagating it.

Looks like verbena.

Want me to send you a cutting?

Thanks for the responses too!! I'm still trying to get a handle on this new property.
Previous, previous owners planted things everywhere....
Which is very cool, but I am trying to move stuff, and I imagine the best thing to do is figure out what the plant is, and what it likes before I pick a new place for it.

You ever do much with roses? I have about 20 roses scattered around the yard, and I'm thinking about consolidating many of them into one area... Some are way out of control, and need serious cutting back.

Looks like a blackberry vine to me --- maybe raspberry or some other berry with thorns.

I think Chad already identified the other stuff I know.

Like to spread these around with Plant 1.

Looks like a miniature daisy to me......I'm pretty sure we had these along the fence row.

hmmmm... might be able to cut some of the flowers and drop them into places I want them to grow??

just found another rose too... was clipping back a Rhodedendron next to the deck, and...Voila!!! another little rose, barely alive under the enormity of the overgrown Rhody...

really got to start looking for a good spot for the Victory Rose Garden... last week, I found 6 roses up on the hillside almost in the woods... all covered with bittersweet and poison ivy

Maybe a Phlox.

Has five fingered leaves, similar to other plants that some may be familiar with...

Quick, call an emergency photographer!

Erigeron.

Now, I am pulling them out of places where they don't really fit, and discovering that they have a rather large root ball, and are no where near as delicate as they appear. Succulent too, bleed water when you snap them off.

Tradescantia.

Cute little flowers though.

Verbena?

Something in the rose family.

Picture is it in full bloom in the spring.

Get that photographer to come back!

Kind of looks like a dogwood, but no flowers so far.
It has been under pretty heavy shade until I started cutting things away from it.
Don't really like where it is in the yard, but don't want to cut it if it will be a flowering tree.

Pictures of tree, close up of leaves and bark.

Cornus.

These kind of look like Azaleas of some sort, but like the previous tree, they did not bloom. They were also under heavy shade.
Want to transplant them somewhere they will flourish, and the last one needs to be severely trimmed.
They all took some damage as well from a big maple that blew down on them.

Could be a Japanese azalea. Could be something else.

This is a very cool looking bush, never saw anything quite like it.
Retains leaves all year, does not seen to flower.
Also needs trimming.

Damfino.
