Pulsatilla vulgaris, Easter flowerer and Narcissus bulbocodium.
Gardening is the great leveller.

Lovely Eric, the pulsatilla looks like a fury little mouse waking up. :D
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Eric what lovely piccies Spring is certainly Sprung.
Earth fills her lap with treasures of her own.

Mrs Ava

Oh Eric, lovely!   ;D  I grew Pulsatilla vulgaris from seed last year and have them all in lovely little pots in my nursery area (sheltered bit down the side of my house  :-\).  How long do you think I will have to wait before they flower?

You may be lucky and get a flower on some of them this Summer, but more likely next Spring. Belive it or not they are a seed weed in this garden. And they come up all different colours, except really blue like P.grandis Budapest.
Have a yellow one too, but it has not yet set seed so cannot propagate it.
By the way they do not like root disturbance as they get older, so plant young.
Gardening is the great leveller.
