Type of plant??

Question

We moved into a 56 year old home and garden in July and now that's its spring we have hundreds of plants coming up. The 92 year old couple that lived here were avid gardeners. I garden a little, but some of these plants I have never seen before. Any help in identifying these plants is appreciated. The last two pictures a azalea and some other bush look like something is wrong. Maybe frost?

Last #7 is an Aucuba and it looks to have some cold damage. I have several which I propagated and this winter was very hard on them. It will come out and you may just need to do a little pruning. 
 Picture #5 I labeled and they are Peonies coming up. 
 I am not positive from the picture but it looks like an azalea in #6 and it may just have frost/freeze damage as well. I would wait another month or two to see what it does. If it is an azalea, you may get some blooms and then you can prune it. 
 #4 actually looks like a type of peony too.
You are going to find many things! What a great surprise! happy gardening!

Thanks Renie! It is a blessing! You never know what is going to sprout next. I think there is something in bloom every month. It's so exciting to see what comes up next!  I just hope I can keep this beautiful yard up the way that the previous owners did. There's a lot of love out there!!

The top picture looks like a Day Lily and the 2nd picture looks like a Peony plant, well at least to me they do.

#4 & #5 are peonies

the azalea looks like it needs some pruning and feeding to correct the pH of the soil. look for a commercial food for it.

Any chance of inviting the old couple back for tea and conversation. If possible they might love being able to tell you all about it!  What fun that would be for all!!!

#4and #5 are peonys how wonderful to have these vintage plants in yor yard!

Debbie Chapman · Answer

I think #4 & #5 are peonies. They can have different looks to their foliage. 
You might want to try to put a support over them now before they grow taller, and flop over with heavy blooms. They will look much better that way. I use peony cages, which are wider & shorter than tomato cages. It will be so exciting to see what they look like blooming! 
By the way, if I cut peonies for a vase, I let them sit outside in water and vase overnight, so that I don't end up with ants or other bugs in my house :-) I don't know what the other photos are of. Enjoy discovering your new plants!
