Newbie needs help with Plant/Tree Identification

[applestar]

Thanks MaineDesigner. And I know what you mean. How many times have I seen double-flowerd (Kwanzan?) weeping cherries in a house corner foundation grouping? Most recently, a house around the corner was landscaped in the Fall and, all winter, I thought they went and planted a beech tree in the corner foundation bed. It turned out to be a weeping Cercis, but I'm still not sure it's viable in that location.

Hi.. Newbie here with a question .. Could you suggest an ornamental and flowering tree for the front corner of the house? (NW corner zone 5 WNY)

There is so much great info on this site.. Thank you for the posts.
Happy Planting,

Sounds like a new thread Deb; no hijacking!

My take so far...

1) Need a better image. Leaf close-ups, please...
2) Sand Cherry
3) Need a better image. Leaf close-ups, please...
4) Hosta (sieb. 'Elegans' for the big blue and 'Golden Tiara' for the little one with the gold edge. Newer pics of bigger plants would be helpful)
5) Mountain ash, or rowan (Sorbus)
6) Gold spirea, probably 'Goldmound'
7) Barberry, likely 'Crimson Pygmy'
8 ) German iris on the left, dwarf spirea on the right; likely 'Little Princess'.
9) Weigelia, one of the older varieties...
10) Cornus mas
11) Need a better image. Leaf close-ups, please...
12) Almost certainly Picea pungens 'Glauca'
