In Victoria, British Columbia, Canada:
Anemone de Caen hybrids
A. nemorosa ( a few forms have finished, but many are still blooming)
Arisaema amurense, ringens, serratum, sikokianum, and taiwanense.
Arum nigrum
Camassia leichtlinii
Convallaria majalis - white flowered, pink flowered, striped leaves.
It is wonderful to weed anywhere near them - I love the fragrance
Erythroniums - some still have a shrivelled petal or two
Iris - Dutch just coming out now
Lilies - a few in bud, but none open yet
Narcissus - pheasant eye and one double are the only ones left blooming
Ranunculus - whatever those double ones are that the Dutch sell
Trientalis latifolia - just opening now
Trillium albidum (it's been flowering a month already and still looks
great), flexipes, luteum, ovatum. Early ones are finished.
