Come on sing the song,,lol. No really I have no idea what these plants are called. Everything is bursting now, (except the weather) most of the plants don't have the flowers yet, but maybe i can get some help by just the leaves. I'm not really good with the latin names but i would like to know those too along with the common names if known...
Shoot,,, for you pro's this should be easy,,lol. but i honestly don't know what they are called.
okay i know the tulip part, but the plant around it.
Heres 3 different plants, again i don't know what they are.
This one is pretty cool looking,, and just planted in random spots,, seeding itself maybe?
and these ones i think are all the same species, just different looking,, but i don't know the names.
And this one has a verigated plant in the front of the pic, i do know it gets a long spike with purple flowers on it.
If anyone can spot other plants in the pics that i didn't point out,, i would be most grateful for the knowledge of what they are,,,
Thanks all!!!

Well Biita the last four piccies all seem to be primulas if that's any help. The first pic could be heuchera around your tulips and it looks like another one on the left and right of your second photograph. The third picture may be some sort of lily??? DROOPY - where are you?

The one with the tulip does look like a heuchera/coral bells leaf.
The second picture the leaves all the way left, look like Aquilegia/Columbine.
I agree the last 4 are primula/primrose.

3rd pic- The big plant is an Oriental Lily, The ferny looking one is Jacob's Ladder.
The primroses look great. You can divide them after they bloom.

How fortunate you are to have wild primulas. They're a bit touchy here so I don't plant them. I have the same ferny looking plant in my own yard, and just went out to check the tag because I didn't remember what it was...if yours is the same as mine, it's a Polemonium. Mine has beautiful purple spiky flowers.

I see you've got a nice variety of hardy plants up there. Lovely! I'm wondering if the lilies in pic 2 might be marthagons, but I can't say before it blooms. Likewise with the one in #3. It looks a lot like "brannlilje", common in old gardens. That variegated thing, could it be an obedient plant? Again, please post when it blooms. I disagree with the first one being heuchera, I think they're aquilegias.

Jacob's Ladder (polemonium) does get blue flowers.  I think the plants around the tulips look more like columbine (aquilegia) than heuchera.
