We have a row of cherry laurel I planted across the front of the yard, and the bees love them also. I'm just not sure about the size of the blooms in relation to the leaves to really be able to tell. But maybe you could google up a picture of cherry laurel and see if it looks like your tree.<BR/><BR/>Nice pics BTW. :-)Rural Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002037737807956337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-79583397456021935692008-07-03T13:25:00.000-07:002008-07-03T13:25:00.000-07:00wunderschoen! ihr habt da ja alles!!Schoenes Woche...wunderschoen! ihr habt da ja alles!!<BR/>Schoenes Wochenende wuensch ich dir u deiner FamilieGudlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303135063780904921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-64022285822298555422008-07-03T04:52:00.000-07:002008-07-03T04:52:00.000-07:00I think the white blossom with the 5 pink dots is ...I think the white blossom with the 5 pink dots is a mountain laurel?

The white round flower with the pink spots on each petal is Rock rose(Cistus). The white scented ones might be Mock Orange. Google it and see if it looks like it. It was hard to see the flower fully in the photo. I have one and it is VERY fragrant.<BR/>I have some of the oniony plants too and it might be an allium, but mine are not technically an allium and they are pinkish. I for the life of me don't remember the names. They are pungent! The hummingbirds like them though. Your poor husband...does he need nose plugs too?

Your "prongy-looking things" look like Foxtail lilies to me and the mini lilies look like 'Stella d'Oro' Day lilies. I'll look into the tall yellow flowers...it's on the tip of my tongue! I'm sure someone will know it. You are so lucky to have all these there...what a great surprise. My favorite flower of all is Roxy girl!!

I can help identify one plant for you. The spikey plant with yellow leaves up and down it (between the yarrow and the liatris) is a yellow loosestrife. Better watch it -- it tends to spread like crazy! I love it though, and have plenty of it (somewhat where I want it) in my own garden. Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
