Just starting to bloom: Antennaria plantaginifolia - Plantain-leaf Pussytoes, Woman's tobacco (?!? I'd like to know the story behind that) - host for American Painted Lady butterfly.

Sedum ternatum (Wild Stonecrop) has been flowering for a few weeks now.

Viola striata (striped cream violet), a host for Fritillary butterflies. After I took this photo, I scraped away the mulch and saw what appears to be quite a lot of babies. If they're Violas and not bird seed sprouts, I'll pot some for the swap.

Last but not least, Myosotis sylvatica (perennial forget-me-nots).
