[no kudzu]

alot of keepers in these photos...keep the nandina-called heavenly bamboo-very hardy-very southern- you could always callyour local extension office and they will send out a master gardener or even the agent to identify-then make labels cause believe me you will not remember....or call a garden club and they will be curious enough to want to see what you have- buy some white plastic knives and write with permanent black ink what you have until you can get a map drawn or more pernament label cause sun will lighten permanent ink-ask me how I know...

Haha, sorry to hear you lost some of your markers to the sun!

Contacting a master gardener sounds like a great idea. What that be an expensive thing to do? I love the idea of mapping out the garden and labelling what we have - excellent, thanks!

First post..first picture...second row..is an azalea. Needs protection from hot afternoon sun.

Second post............first row.....4th picture could be spearmint or peppermint. Rub the leaf between your fingers and smell your fingers. If it's mint, you will know.

I've seen it around here (Raleigh-Durham, NC) but can't find it online. Anyone know what it is?

To bad the flowers are not sharply on focus because it might make a difference in ID. From leaf shape and flower type it's called "common laurel" by some and and is similar looking to a Cherry Laurel but I suspect it may be a Carolina Luarelcherry which is a popular native laurel in several parts of NC. It can be very pretty when in bloom and seems pretty tough.

Carolina Laurelcherry (Prunus caroliniana)

If the flowers don't match up to what you see then I would look at plain Cherry Laurel as the answer: Shrubs: Prunus laurocerasus

Your jpg 209/210 is Aucuba (gold dust plant). Maybe someone already said that.
