#1 is a hybrid erythronium from Collector's nursery. Interesting bloom
#2 is an odd fritillaria uva vulpis. Yellow tipped dangling blooms.
#3 is another odd flowering woodland groundcover, trachystemon orientalis. Strange blue flowers.
#4 is celandine poppy (stylophorum) with Virginia bluebells in the background just trying to get started.
#5 is pulmonaria.
Edited to add that the celandine poppies, bluebells & pulmonaria are all volunteers. They pleasantly scatter themselves around the woods, not invasively. You can see from the leaf litter in the pictures, these aren't cultivated beds, the plants fend for themselves and can push through pretty dense leaf debris without a problem.
