The Pheasant’s-eye (Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus), a native of Switzerland, was introduced to UK gardens in the 19th C and is still very popular today. Fragrant, late-flowering and sublime! Here in my orchard and an 1833 illustration

2 pretty forms of Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum). First a white-flowered form growing on the edge of a meadow and second a form with lobed petals growing in one of my roof gutters

Italian Garlic (Allium pendulinum). Rather prettier to my mind than it's invasive relative A. triquetrum. Hopefully it will prove to be better behaved in my garden
