Four flower photos from a walk around out neighbourhood. Notes in the alt text.

A brace of bright golden yellow goblet-shaped flowers with strong brown striping from the base. We're looking at the outside, from near ground level. In the BG more flowers.
Crocus 'Golden Yellow'. Pacific Bulb Society says this is syn C. 'Dutch Yellow' and C. 'Yellow Mammoth', as a cross of C. flavus and C. angustifolius. The KAVB database lists it as a species selection, C. flavus ssp flavus 'Golden Yellow', with no origin or date.

Looking up from below at a round cluseter of yellow flowers. Each is a long white tube covered in silky white hairs, and opens at the end in golden four-petalled blooms with a distinct group of four stamens. What you can't see it the scent, a rich and string floral type perfume. In the BG, sky and cloud.
Edgeworthia chrysantha.

A cluster of pale blue flowers with defined blue streaks and reticulation, strong patches of yellow on the fall, and an ambiguous greenish halo around it. Soil and leaves in the BG.
Iris 'Katharine Hodgkin' (E.B. Anderson, 1958). Reportedly Iris winogradowii × Iris histrioides.

On a deep blue sky, several branches with scattered magenta-pink flowers. The branches are otherwise bare.
The first sakura to bloom for us every year, mislabelled Prunus sargentii but more closely resembling Prunus campanulata or one of its hybrids like P. ‘Okame’.
