From my little rock bed today.

Aethionema 'Warley Rose' Fairly common and cheap to buy but lovely just the same.

Arenaria montana, one of my favorites, even though it's not very exotic or difficult:

397321-1

Here are Anemone nemorosa Lena (white) and Miss Eunice (one of the darkest blue ones)
Unfortunately both are not as free flowering as other selections of nemorosa.
