I've been waiting to see what came out of this barrel since we moved in. I inherited these lovelies from the previous owners when they left an overgrown wine barrel on the back deck. I was curious to see what was inside so I let it overwinter and waited.
My patience was rewarded with:
Yellow Daylilies and ??? Buds that looked like they're from the mum family but leaves that looked like daisies.
They turned out to be, gorgeous Mountain Daisies.

OK, now for the REAL mystery plant:

I'm stumped on this one.
This is the largest one, but I've got shrubs like this growing out of five or six nursery logs all around the property.
Bark
This one (above) you can see some raspberry leaves protruding through, grrr. The birds and my chickens love the berries.
I think it's a Mountain Ash, but I'm not sure. Like the Ash, it has pinnate leaf structure and clumps of 30+ red berries. The piece that's throwing me off is that it's not growing from one main trunk, but a bunch of shoots.
I give on this one for now - I'll observe through the season and fall and see what happens.
