#1 Chloranthus japonicus. Blooms are already intact within the emerging foliage. These are just starting to bloom; full bloom is a cute spire of white bristles. I really like this one. Slowly enlarging clump. Typical woodland setting.
#2 Leucojum aestivium. Bigger/bolder than typical bulbs. Easy.
#3 Pachysandra procumbens. This is the native species, not the more common Japanese p. terminalis. Not invasive at all. Flowers are clustered at center of last year's wilted leaves.
#4 Isopyrum biternatum. Similar to anemonella.
#5 Cardamine heptaphylla spreads gently to form a purple carpet in the woods.
