Phenology Exercise

Starting with the flowering tree, the flowers are out and seem to be freshly out. I had been to the same spot a few days before and no flowers were on the trees, so I am guessing this flowering happened recently, with some help from the rain. The plant with bring green leaves and no flowers looks recently new too, maybe just a few days old, as I had been to the same spot a few days before this photo was taken, and there was very little green. In terms of the bare plants, I am unable to identify any of these plants, and therefore don't know if these should be flowering or leafing by now and are actually just dead, or if this is normal and they will be flowering/leafing later
