Chelidonium majus, greater celandine. Closeup on two flwoer stems. One has only buds. The other has two open flowers, which have four golden yellow petals opening flat, a pistil standing green in the middle, and a cluster of golden stamens around it. In the background blurry leaves, more celandine, and some bluebells.
Doronicum columnae, leopard's bane. A stand of bright yellow daisylike flowers standing tall above a carpet of foliage, with a few dots of other colours from herb robert, bluebells, and an azalea. Clearly it works as there were no leopards.
Euphorbia griffithii (I think) cultivar. A background of green foliage surrounding a central cluster of flowers with vivid orange and vermillion sepals. Well I think they're sepals ... leaves or sepals? Under those a whorl of similarly coloured leaves. The reproductive parts are pronounced and are being visited by ants, presumably to collect nectar.
Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris 'Stripe It Up' (Chuck Chapman, intr 2020 but never registered). A closeup on one iris flower. The flags are purple fading out to a sort of tan at the edges. The falls are tan with darker tan veining at the throat with a stripe of white dotted purple on the midrib. Beard is solid bright orange.
