Aym, the pink one is a corydalis. My blue one doesn't have any flowers yet. The small blue, in the pot are anemone blanda that have opened in the sun. I pop them into most of the pots that have shrubs and perennial plants in them- - - - that way, they don't get dug up when dormant.
Aym, I live in Kingswinford which is West Mids/Staffs Border. It normally flowers around this time I have another which is smaller and more of a reddish pink, but I prefer this one. It is on a North facing wall and never gets the morning sun, which is a real no no for Camelia. I give it a tidy up after it finishes flowering and feed it with a camelia feed. I also try not to water it with tap water.

Aym, you got a good deal with the scarifier. Lovely photos everyone, here are a few I took this morning.
Two new Rhodos planted and the pots all tidied up for the spring
Camelia looking nice and healthy, no idea of the variety though. Any experts out there.
First time I have grown these. This is the first one open in the pot. I think the variety is Harmony.
Yvie, lovely camellias.

Do some more seed sowing today, pot marigolds and apricot pygmy marigolds, some more snapdragons and cosmos. Pot on chillies.
First got to do some vacuuming.
