Name that plant

We have a number of flowering plants around our yard, all planted by previous owners. I don't know what any of them are, so here are some pictures. If you know what they are, feel free to enlighten me!

Any ideas?

A brief update

Vacation is here. The term ended on Friday with many of my former students graduating from IELI! I had taught many of those students last summer or fall, when they were in level 3 or 4 (of 6). It was nice to see them succeed and move on to the next big thing in their lives. For some of them, this means returning home. For others, this means beginning an advanced degree at UNT.

For those who are interested, here's a link to a web album of photos from our trip to England in March: http://picasaweb.google.com/ajlandt/England200702

Next weekend is ReaperCon. Gus's brother and a couple friends from Ohio will be staying here for the duration of the Con. Gus and I will be spending the next few days furiously painting up minis to enter into the competition. :)

There's not much else to report!
