Ficaria verna, lesser celandine, dark-leaved variety.
Against a backdrop of very dark purpleish round leaves, three intensely yellow flowers. Each flower has a single row of shiny ovate petals around a cluster of large stamens.

Ficaria verna, lesser celandine, green-leaved variety.
Against a backdrop of bright green round leaves, several intensely yellow flowers, only one in focus. Each flower has a single row of shiny ovate petals around a cluster of large stamens, and in this case, the stamens have extended to reveal the ovary in the middle of the flower.

Lamium purpureum, purple dead-nettle. From close to ground level, a large colony of the plant. Each stem has several deeply veined cordate leaves grading from bright green mature ones lower on the stem to immature reddish ones at the top. In between the immature leaves are flowers and buds. Each flower is typical "singing mouth" mint flower shape, light pink-purple with purple spots.

Magnolia stellata cultivar, star magnolia. Looking down at an unopened flower. The linear white petals are very delicately edged and speckled with deep magenta at the distal end.
