#1 is a sedum of some sort, and #4 looks like what's in my yard, it puts out a small purplish bloom (you can almost see it already). I think it's a weed, but it doesn't do any harm where it is in my yard, and gives some early greenery.

Sorry I'm not more help than that, but there are others here who will know much more...

Looks like #1 is actually a weed - never blooms but looks a little like diascia. # 2 spring bulb: Scilla. #3 looks like an immature hycinth or very old one dying out. #4 is a weed. I call it garden ivy. Small purple flowers, cool season bloom.

Thanks for the info!

#4 is henbit. Definitely a weed. The purple flowers are pretty but this thing can get out of hand if you let it.

#1 looks like my arch enemy chickweed. See the link. Gets tiny white flowers, spreads like wildfire and is difficult to eradicate. I don't know what #2 is. #3 is definitely scilla...cute little things. and #4 henbit can indeed get out of hand if you're not carefull.

The first one (chickweed?) was growing when I moved in last autumn and it was out of control. It popped up through the cracks in the concrete and bricks all over the place.
