Tree and flower ID?
Consider it a gift.

I have thought about planting daylillies, but as yet have not done so. It
is
an alien visitor.

Since your sumac appears to be completely smooth instead of pubescent as
for
the common "Staghorn Sumac", I would say your plant is the "Smooth
Sumac",
Rhus glabra L.
Your red flower is a "Daylily" (Hemerocallis) hybrid. It may have come
as
a
stowaway with some other plant you bought. If it came up as a volunteer
from
seed, it is something new definitely worth keeping and propagating. Do
you
grow other "Daylilies" in your garden?

Can you help me identify this tree and this flower.
As near as I can determine from my Audobon book, the tree is some kind
of
sumac, but I could be wrong.

The flower just appeared in a flower bed this summer. I don't remember
planting it. It is on a long stem, and the plant reminds me of some
kind
of
bulb or iris plant.
