Even with our colder nights my spring flowers are hanging in there

A few weeks ago both my hyacinths and daffodils cleared the ground and are standing proud. I have the different colors of hyacinths that came in one pot, white, purple and pink I think.
The day lilies are still growing taller too but they won't bloom here until June or after depending on how long it takes for the colder temps to leave.
My tulip died, it's still in the house-well all the flowers does not the plant itself. That will go into the ground eventually.
I think the wee little plant in the pic is also some type of lily but it may be an invasive type as it was in the other side of my ramp before.
I made a collage of all the flowers/plants mentioned here but couldn't get it to load. So I gave up. This is the multi colored hyacinth.

I know the hyacinths and daffodils it's the single flower I'm not certain about. I had to switch from a collage to the single pic to get it to load. This is the one I'm uncertain about its name.

It all depends on what I choose to buy and then get planted. I buy a lot that tend to die before I get them planted.

@rebelann you prob have to plant cacti that produce flowers in your climate if you want a bit of color?

Yes it is and it's quite a surprise that they continue to thrive even when it temps at night go below freezing and I don't get them covered.

@Shavkat there aren't enough for that. Plus I enjoy them right where they are growing.

How lucky that your flowers have survived those cold nights. Our nights recently have gotten to the freezing mark so I don't know how that affected the neighbors gardens (I don't have any flowers to worry about).

It's they mainly have spring flowers growing then hopefully they made it too or maybe your neighbors have time to cover them at night.

@MarshaMusselman one neighbor had their bushes covered but it would be sad if the flowers didn't
