A tour of my yard

I love Spring because every time I go outside the landscape has completely changed again! Nearly everything is vibrant & green—today's rain really enriched the colors! Even one of the Clematis that I planted last Fall (which I was sure had died due to the extreme heat & sun) is coming back! Fingers crossed that the other regenerates too.
The rhododendron outside my front window:
A seedling. Any guesses as to what kind?
Lilacs:
Spirea:
The buds look like fireworks:
Burning bush (there were NO leaves only 2 weeks ago!)
A striking mini iris!
Rosemary (lavender and cilantro coming soon!):
Some type of groundcover (should have saved the tag!)
Sedum:
Asiatic lilies: They look amazing now & they're just leaves!
These plants are with my hostas. I had no idea they would flower!
