While I was at the lake house last weekend, I took some shots of the flowers and things growing there. The previous owners had planted all sorts of things, and I don't know what most of them are. I just walk outside and see stuff growing. Every summer is a surprise as if I hadn't seen the same things growing the year before, but I'm not one to pay a lot of attention to plant growth. So, tell me what's in my yard?
Yellow things.
Purple things.
Some big tropical looking thing.
Pretty pink things. I'm just kidding about this one—I know it's a hydrangea bush.
But I'm clueless about the rest.

I consulted my Big Book of Weird American Plants and it seems that the top three are "Yellow Things", "Purple Things" and "Green Things".
I'm afraid I'm as lost as you are. Perhaps mum will pop over and tell us later.

PF, they are pretty, aren't theY?
Lizard, actually your mother did name them all, but I don't remember.
Rich, I think it's Japanese beatles that are doing it.
Sister, Ah, you just appeared. I knew you'd know. Thanks.
The purple...looks like veronica not sure about those leaves they do look like a salvia leaf, thought it might have been Nepeta, which is called cat mint, but the leaves of that are more grey....
The Begonia leaves maybe bergonia Silberlicht (pinky white flowers)..or cordifolia,(deep red flowers)...
Hope that helps.....
The coreiopsis is very pretty - looks very much like a painted daisy and that is the healthiest hydrangea I have ever seen.
The big tropical looking thing almost looks like my zuchini plant!
