Good morning to all,
My wife and I recently bought our first house and we were in need of some assistance with IDing some flowers of ours the prior owners had planted.
Aside from the flowers I know, hydregenes, and hostas I was hoping to get some help with the two I've attached here within.
Thank you!

The orange flowers in front of the top picture are daylilies, aka ditch lilies. The pink ones are oriental lilies and the burgundy ones probably are too.
The bush in the second picture may be spirea, but I'm not too sure. Someone else can check me on that.
Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your new house!

sorry, but I don't think so, re tiger lily. Tiger lilies are true lilies in the Lilium genus.
note the leaves all along the flower stalk.
Daylilies are not actually lilies, in the genus Hemerocallis. They have a tuber not a bulb.
They have basal leaves that are separate and send up a flower stalk with no leaves:
There's probably some confusion because I think some people mistakenly call the common daylily tiger lily.
