#3 is Shooting Star, genus Dodecatheon. Perhaps species pulchellum.

Hi Johannian,
#1 Looks like a Four-Nerve daisy (Tetraneuris torreyana).
#4 Looks like Virginia Bluebells except probably not because of the thinner leaves and your location is far west of their native range.
#5 Looks like a Mountain lily (Leucocrinum montanum).
Good luck and nice pics!

Thanks for your help, Kelly and Hal.

#4 does look a lot like Virginia Bluebells from what I saw in pictures, but I see what you're saying about the leaf thickness, Hal. And ours don't get as tall or wide as Virginia Bluebells. But the blooms look so similar!

That is a Mertensia species, but not Virginia Bluebells (M. virginiana). probably M. lanceolata.

The white flowered one looks to be Thlaspi arensis.
