Another tree to ID. The bush is under the tree. The following pictures are with details. Also, I've accidentally dug out a very strange looking bulb.

Here is the bulb:
the red tree a cotinus
the yellow bush, a choisya, Sundance probably
In the sticks near Peterborough
Smoke bush (tree), Choisya ternata (bush) and Montbretia (corm) I think.

Crocosmia bulbs do that on top of each other thing. Could it be that?
Not sure of the tree. The shrub is Choisya ternata
The bulb is a corm, the new one stacks on top of old ones. Its possibly a Crocosmia. lucifer in particular has big corms. How big is it , its possibly a crocus if it is dying down now, as opposed to shooting up.
Stop all talking at once.
If we're all saying the same thing does it count as singing???
Thank you all! It's great to have so much help. Even if you don't say the same thing it can count as singing. Like this beautiful motet by Machaut which is a setting of two different poems.

Definitely Cotinus coggygria for the tree, the bush is a Choisya (probably 'Sundance' judging by the lightness of the foliage) and I agree that the corm is Crocosmia.
It might be a crocus, FidgetBones, I remember seeing some in that part of the garden.
Does anyone know what is the plant climbing in the background? I've planted the corm back in. Hopefully no damage was done.
