I would appreciate your thoughts on names for the two muscari.

The third plant is Hyacinthella lazuluna

The fourth is Chinoscilla allenii

They are looking good JRC - and you seem to have quite a number which are being kind enough to face the viewer, rather than hanging their heads .

I was thinking that, from some of the foliage we can see.  Thanks for the note. Good plants

Snow has been coming and going here for nearly three weeks.  There's never been a big fall here but it has been melting during the day then lying a bit overnight.  Many days it has been snowing lightly most of the time but melting and not really accumulating.  We had some sunshine this afternoon which melted the snow quite a bit.
Corydalis are emerging a bit squashed, some snowdrops are flattened but hellebores and Iris Frank Elder have survived.

Ranunculus ficaria from the garden today. It's possibly 'Brazen Hussy' but I can't be certain.

No it wasn't, it's 'Copper Knob'

One from the garden today:-

Ranunculus ficaria aurentiacus
