Rhodies and Azaleas are in the heath family: Ericaceae.
Scheffleras are an indoor plant here, most would die from the cold in the winter.
My daughter just bought a house in Seattle. She moved from Tennessee and is more familiar with East Coast plantings. She is looking for help in identifying some plants in her backyard. The first three photos are the same plant. The last one I think is a rhododendron. Any help?
Last one is 100% Rhododendron.
