I should probably come up with the Latin names for these plants, but I'll leave that to Hilary in the comments.
You know the start of gardening has begun at our house when the hellebores bloom, and they are up. Since these were blooming when we arrived back from France, we just kind of missed the whole end of Winter thing.
We probably first put them in about three years ago, and they are slowly starting to grow (no wonder they're so expensive). I'm tempted to call them the pouting plant because they also droop their blooms to the ground on a good day. On a bad day they resemble Winston's tail when he gets in trouble.
