I just moved into a new house and in the front yard is this beautiful flowering tree - and everyone I asks gives me a different answer on what it is! Anyone here have an idea?

I vote for the forsythia you find them all over western washington. If you have a bunch of branches growing out of the ground and the plant blooms with flowers before even one leaf shows up that's your best bet. Most of the azaleas I have seen up north never got that tall.

After looking at closeups of both the yellow azaela and the mystery plant, it looks to me like the leaves and bark are different. I have to say I still think the mystery plant is a forsythia halfway between bloom and leafing. But then, I have been known to be wrong before!!!!!

I have never seen a yellow azalea either. Does anyone know where to buy one. No one in my area has them. I did see an orange one, really orange, last week in Winston Salem. It was beautiful.

They are deciduous azaleas. There are yellow, orange & regular azalea colors. 'Exbury' is the most common, I believe, but there are other cultivars. exbury yellow

I have not come across a Yellow Azalea before. The flowers look like a azalea, but as Fernie said the leaves are different. So I am not sure.

Darn - I brought my camera to work to upload the close-up photos and guess what - I forgot the cord to connect the camera to the computer! :rolleyes: So I will upload them tonight when I get home, I promise! To answer weezie's question about the red bush next to it, I was told it is a camellia. Here is a close-up photo of its gorgeous flower!

LOL! To answer your questions Weezie, I am extremely lucky! Especially since I just moved into this house and so I got all the rewards of these beautiful plants and didn't have to do any of the work! Here are some close up shots of the yellow flowers, I also included one of the leaves. I really think it is an azalea, do you?
