Snow crocus -- they bloom earlier, are smaller, and more delicate in color
Giant crocus -- I have several spots of purple and white giant crocus
Primroses -- my favorite is this pale yellow one, but there's also white, pink and purple in my yard
Grecian Windflower -- it's an early bloomer for us
Petite Daffodils -- the petite ones bloom several weeks before the larger daffodils. They're about 10-12 inches tall and do fine in pots for us.
Here's a swath of purple and white giant crocus, near the front door. It's visible from the driveway. On a sunny day, when the blooms are open, it's a cheery sight when driving in.
Next to the kitchen door is a tiny dooryard garden of white and purple primrose, purple hyacinth, petite daffodils, some ground cover with tiny white blooms, later in spring, evergreens, violets, and lots of moss and rocks.
