Those are lovely! My snowdrops didn't come up this year, for the first time in 22 years. I suspect the bulbs either finally got exhausted (lol), or my son accidentally pulled them up when he was clearing his strawberry bed (they were right at the edge of that bed). I don't know the name of the blue ones, either, but we have a few of those, too. The bottom one is unfamiliar to me, but pretty! For us, the crocuses are gone and my daffodils are just getting ready to wilt, but the grape hyacinths and tulips are going strong. And the plum trees are in beautiful bloom! I'll try to get some pictures when it stops rainingthey have decided to honor us with their presence now. Here are som of the ones i seen.
Snödroppe (or Snowdrop in english i think)
Scilla ((maybe sciull in english?? very unsure)
Vitsippa (wood Anemone in english)

I dont have any planted. these are all fairly common here. Crocus too of course (we call them Krokus here). I am waiting for Pingstliljorna to come (should be Narcissi in english i think). The Snowdrops and crocuses are gone and so is Tussilago, they are very early, the rest is still here.
I saw the first Pingstlilja today!!! Think it is Narcissus (Narcissi?) in english . (direct translation from swedish means Pentecost Lily)
(think it can be called Poets Daffodil too but am unsure...)
And here are some more.... I do love spring, it is a pity im allergic against birch pollen.... Oh, Well.
Påsklilja (I think this is daffodil but am not sure (directly translated the swedish name means Easter Lily))
Blåsippa (very unsure about the translation here, think it is a Hepatica)
Tussilago (think this is known as Coals foot for some reason)
Daisies are pretty resilient......... just sayin'Many of my spring flowers made an appearance about two weeks ago. Then last week we experienced a very cold run where the temps went below freezing each night. Killed off some a bunch of the blooming flowers. But they’re now making a recovery and blooming again. Resilient little suckers, they are.
Where do you live that your poinsettias grow like this?
That explains why I can't grow them...... *sigh*
They prefer a temperate climate, alas.
