what's the name of flower in the last picture here? I have one in my yard. I'd like to know how to take care of it.

Austin, the Cleveland Pear is a tree. It take virtually no care except to have it pruned once in awhile.

The flowering Almond is a shrub that gets about 4'x4'. I don't fertilize mine, but it does need pruned and shaped once a year after the pink flowers are gone. Take out the old dying branches in the middle of the bush when they appear not to be vigerous any longer. Let nature shape the bush.

The Flowering Quince is also a shrub and again, I don't fertilize it. However, it does need pruned like the almond. I will usually shape it the first couple of years and then prune the old inside branches when they don't appear vigerous any longer.

I hope this helps. If you have more questions, please ask.
