Need help with plant & tree identification!

Spring has sprung and we have inherited some landscaping from the previous owners. I know almost nothing about plants or trees and their care. I would like to change that and keep our yard nicely landscaped with trees and plants. I am asking YOUR help in identifying what is already in the yard and its care. I assume things blooming now are perennials instead of annuals (in my mind, the terms should be switched as annual means yearly or once a year....they bloom once a year...instead of ONCE).

Below are 20 photos I took of the yard this week. I believe you can click on the photo to get a larger image. If you know what the plants are and how to care for them, please leave a comment on my blog with the information!!

Also, I discovered planters of rosemary and Greek oregano outside - any chances they will be okay and still be alive/grow after being outside all winter?

I appreciate any help or information you can give me!
