This first shrubs is actually on our neighbors property, but it has grown through the fence- we enjoy it none the less. The second, it looks like a lilly, but it grows on a bush.

Thanks,

The first looks like white lilac - Syringa.

The second is either a Rhododendron or an Azalea; I can never tell the two apart.

I agree on the lilac, but the leaves aren't heart shaped, like I've seen most. These leaves are long, and narrow.

Thank you! I have yet to locate this specific type of lilac, but I'm still looking.

Trevor, post the photos of the lilac on our Lilac Forum, and you'll get help identifying the variety you have.
