Sorry - here is the link...I posted the pictures on my blog because I wasn't sure how to upload multiple pics in one posting...THANK you in advance for your help! I certainly need it!

1. not really sure, maybe Valerian?
2. Garlic Chives or Gow Choy - yes you can eat them. They bloom in mid to late summer with white flat flowerheads.
3. Allium for sure, most probably A. christophii.
4. yep, Daylilies
5. Ornithogalum umbrellatum, Star of Bethlehem. It will start blooming white flowers as the foliage begins to die off. It's a horrible invasive weed and if you can get a positive ID from the flowers don't let them go to seed. My opinion is to dig out the infected soil and replace with topsoil (I'm doing that in my front yard.):
6. something in the prunus family, I imagine.
7. yep, tulip.

1. valerian
2. chives or scallions, yes eat them!
3. hyacinth?
4. daylily
5. My guess is crocus
6. bridal wreath spirea?
7. tulip

Neither chives nor scallions have flat leaves.

Number 6 looks very much like peony leaves to me.
The star of bethlehem, ornithagalum is poisonous be careful that children don't eat the bulbs.
As far as the wild onion goes, don't eat anything until you get a positive ID. Wait till it flowers and then bring it to a local extention or nursery for ID.

You're right, the chives ARE flat....didn't notice that.
But, I do actually have a flat leaved chive in my garden. Its use is more ornamental than culinary in my opinion. The leaves are a little tougher than traditional chives.

I'd go check my plant tag (if it still exists), but my garden is still under 2 feet of snow :(

Sparrowhawk,
You (and Amy probably does) have Garlic Chives(Allium tuberosum) which grow with flat leaves and have white flowers in late summer/fall. Regular Chives(Allium schoenoprasum) have round leaves and lavender flowers in late spring/early summer.

Thank you all SO much!! What a huge help!

6 is definitely bridal wreath spirea after researching it...I think I plan on chopping down almost all of it to get it to regrow without looking like a couple of blooms on a bunch of sticks...

As far as the star of Bethlehem - it has never flowered, so is there any other way to identify it for sure? (tulips and peonies bloom in this bed, so I think it gets a decent amount of sun) It doesn't seem to take over any of my other plants, just spreads pretty quickly - does anyone actually use it as a groundcover?

THANK YOU!!
