My earliest iris to bloom is I. histrioides, a member of the reticulata section.  Grows nicely under a dogwood in a spot that is mostly shaded in summer, but the iris has mostly died back by then.  It's small but very colorful.

Also attached is a nice stand of some unknown mini-daffodil, one of many that I planted probably 40 years ago and likely came from Breck's or another mass mail order house  I've long ago forgotten the names of all the varieties, with a few exceptions.  They come back and bloom despite never getting thinned and mostly planted in the adobe that Tennesseans laughingly call soil.

Bob in Oak Ridge, where my flowering quince is starting to bloom, several weeks later than usual.
