    The plant in question for your second photo below is Itea virginica and it is a native species.

    Answer

    Dear nforsth312, thanks for your input. While Itea is native to North America, it is not native to New England. Here, it is a cultivated species for ornament, and not one I see planted very often (and, therefore, not one I am much familiar with). Thank you again for offering your expertise. Best wishes.
