  Would you be good enough to ID the flowers here? 1 and 2, a tulip; 5, a daffodil. But 3 and 4? 3 looks what we call lupine out West, especially with those leaves. And 4, well, some sort of Brazilian flowering tree perhaps?
  
  BTW your flora pix are always exceptional. Have you ever checked out the collection at the Agassiz Museum of the glass flowers? Of course, there's nothing like the real thing (baby), but where else can you see Prunus blossoms in January?

     Bryan -- I am working on 3 and 4 myself (they are the same plant).  It's growing on a fellow gardeners fence. His garden is an absolute little Shangri-La. I ran into him on the street the other day and asked him about it, and he trilled off the Latin name.  I didn't have anything to write it down on and he is quite the talker, and while I kept repeating it silently in my head, by the time I could get away I had forgotten it.  But I intend to ask again, next time I see him, when I am armed with a pen.  Sorry to be such a tease, but I had to post a picture, I was so enchanted.
     
     In the meantime, if anyone has an idea, feel free to jump in!

     Ran into Rick this afternoon and he told me the name: five-leaf akebia, Latin name: Akebia quinata.
