Spring is kickin' in my backyard

Apologies to Matt and Brandon but I really don't give a rip about flowers when it comes to my yard. I leave that up to C as I am more about hardscaping and the foundation plants. However, as I walked the yard this AM, I noticed the flowers are kickin' it. After two years of relocating and pruning at the wrong times in order to get the plants in the right place and in the right shape, everything is lookin' good. Here are some examples:

This is some type of fern that I thought I killed off last summer.

Matt, what is the name of this? Jack In the Pulpit?

We thought this was a viburnum two years ago. It finally bloomed and I guess it is a hydrangea.

Trumpet Vine

Morning Glories

I think this is some type of Lilac. It is growing out of the plant in the pond. This is the first year we have seen it.

Here is the pond/deck area.

Allen,
did you do your pond? If you did did you use a liner of preformed? Do you have a pump? I have flowers like the ones in your pond and I have been told they are water iris.
