I need to identify four plants and one tree/bush
1) started as a purple bulb peeping out from the soil which has since become green on the tips as they get bigger.
2) Is a kind of stemmy red plant which is developing a green leaf.
3) Is a plant almost like a grass but with large stems.
4) is a leaf long green plant which on some of the plants is developing buds coming through.
5) is a very small leaf bush but I think that I have seen a tree very similar with a green almost maple leaf.

Number two plant, could that be the new shoots of the perennial Astilbe
Number one plant, the picture is unclear and does not look like what i think it is that being, Convallaria [lilly of the valley], which starts with small purple shoots turning green and then producing a small stem of fragrant white flowers, great for use has a cut flower in a small vase on the bedside cabinet, lovely scent.
Number three plant, if its the one by the tree, then could be Crocosmia, green sword shape foliage, with orange/ red flowers late summer or a type of Iris.
Number four without a picture its difficult to comment
Number five, no picture but could it be an Acer?

I wouldn't attempt to i.d. anything from those photos... it would just be playing guessing games

« my photinia has lots of flowers but very little leaf growth
Hi Teamtobin and welcome to GoY. You have asked us to i.d. 5 different plants... you have put up 3 photos - two of which are the same. None of them is clear enough for me to give a positive i.d. on. Please resubmit your questions with good clear photos of each plant/shrub you are asking us to i.d.
