It's sold as a "red hot poker" in all the gardening magazines - not sure of the botanical name. Just saw it blooming at the Antique Rose Emporuim in San Antonio. It's beautiful!

Kniphofia uvaria aka Red Hot Poker. In my zone, they like lots of sun and lots of water.

It looks like a black cherry to me, too, although the leaves are less elongated than mine. It might be a choke cherry -- their berries are more purplish than black and the leaves are shorter. Some black cherries are better than others. Mine is quite good, but no matter what you make out of it, it's hard to shake the feeling you are eating cough syrup. You may want to post these pictures in the Tree forum, and add a pictures of the bark as well as the full tree. Wild cherries are a common tree throughout the east coast.

It's a viola (violet) species. Should be producing tiny purple flowers shortly and if allowed to go to seed, they will spread widely throughout the lawn. Any broadleaf lawn weed killer should work but check the label to confirm violets/violas are listed. A spray formulation is a better approach than granular - faster, more efficient and less likely to leach into groundwater and add to pollution. Bayer makes an excellent product that can be used as a handheld RTU, a hose end sprayer or a concentrate to mixed and sprayed. Bayer All-in-One Lawn Weed Killer

It's also called torch lily. And I've been looking all over trying to find one! They're awesome plants - just give 'em room!

Mommyfox--I had some at the swap (they were very little though). I have a cluster of 3 just getting ready to bloom and they all have babies. I also have some bigger seedlings in pots. I'll save some for you if you want. By the fall swap, they should be bigger (and maybe by then I'll figure out how to get the babies without destroying the mommy.
