2. This flowers grows in a bush of about half meter tall... normally there are six or sever flowers per bush. Each flower is like a rose size. And they are very attractive for ants and bees. Tha stalk starts growing red and goes to green near the leafs.

The second one is a peony Paeonia, but I'm not sure about thefirst. At first I took it for a Phyteuma sp but then though about Jasione but then thought about your 'looks like a muscari'.... and then gave up! I'll be as pleased as you to know what it is!

The first is Muscari comosum and the Peony is Peonia officinalis - rather rare SE France and NW Italy, protected species. Hope this helps

Muscari comosum is also known as grape hyacinth. We found some growing wild around one of our fruit trees and saved the seed from it to try to cultivate a patch next year as the bulb is edible.
