Very likely a flowering cherry / No fruit is produced

Yes sir, no fruit, but it is a pleasant short lived flowering tree.
When the time comes, two to three weeks at most, it lays a carpet of flowers when it shreads.

Wow, you guys are great! I really am going to write a lot of this down, at least I have it here.

And I'll be posting more, there's so much here.

So should I cut them all right to the ground?

If it's bulb type stuff, wait 'til they are all done blooming and being pretty.....then you cut them down. The bulbs are still there and bloom the next year.....at least that's what my lilies do. Really, the guy at Lowe's can be a valuable source of info.

That's a match!

Does it transplant good? I have too much in one area that I could move to the other area I want it in.

I should have mentioned it is in the shade all day, the Wiki article says it does well in shade.

People plant that stuff under shade trees where the shade has killed off the grass....no lawn. It greens things up.

Not an Iris. I do believe it is a Grape Hyacinth.

I'm going all in on iris!

I entered "yellow flowering spring bushes" and it came up with forsythia.

Correct.

When we lived in Ohio, we planted groundcover in shaded areas using pachysnadra and in sunny areas we used portulaca.
Portulaca,
