Thank you all!

Trillium kurabayashi is gorgeous, Wallaby! The deep wine red is so nicely set off by the grayish green patterned leaf. I'll have to look for that one...Just a pity they disappear later on in the season.

Ipheion uniflorum Wisley blue is very pretty. I just have the specie, also beautiful but mine haven't started yet, but I saw some buds appearing.

My bluebells, are very late this year. They are only in the stage that I can see the buds at the bottom inside the foliage. I have two types, one I think is the Hyacinthoides non-scripta and a type with much broader foliage, maybe the spanish type.
But after reading the description in the Horticultural society site I'll have to study them closer, once they bloom.

I like both of yours.

And the lovely Anemone blanda. I had a couple in the past, then lost them, but bought another a couple of weeks ago. I gave it a spot I think it will like, where it gets a couple of hours sun in the morning.

Your Iris reticulatas are all very pretty Patti, I only have one type, don't know its name. I bought them blooming in a pot last year, thinking they would not return the next year, because I had no luck with them in the past, so it was a surprise when they came back I had all forgotten about it.

They bloomed very early, my pic. dates from 17th January.
