Hello,

I've posted some photos of some unidentified landscape items on my web
site:

http://members.rogers.com/ruminda/gardens2.htm

I moved in last July and most of the trees/shrubs/plants, etc. were
planted by the previous owners. We're trying to figure out what we
have in our gardens!

If anyone has some information to share on these things, I'd
appreciate it!

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Bulb is probably one of the Allium (onion) species--perhaps A.
giganteum. Better identification might be possible when it is in bloom.
I'm not sure all of them have a distinctive odor, but try crushing the
leaf and see if you get an 'oniony/garlicy' smell..

Shrub photo is pretty unclear, but looks like a pomegranate from flower
color and leaf shape. Is the calyx of heavy texture and also red-orange
in color?

Tree is some flowering cherry cultivar. Branching suggests it might be
'Kwanzan'.

Gene:
thanks for the information.

I posted some closeup images of the flower on shrub:

sorry, the photos did not come out too clear; digital camera does not
zoom very well. the calyx appears to be green and tipped with orange,
not too heavy.

thanks again.

I was wrong. It is a flowering quince (Chaenomeles perhaps C. x japonica).

Actually that was my first impression, but with the picture quality being
what it was I felt this was no more than a vague impression, not something
to volunteer.
