You're as bad as I am. I'd forgotten to add Fothergilla and Kerria japonica to the list. Of course as soon as I looked out, I saw them.
I haven't inventoried the perennials and bulbs - those were just the woodies. We've got that nasty weed Vinca blooming, too, and Pansies and Salvia greggii, but I don't remember what else. I've been taking pictures of various flower forms and posting them on the gardening forum. I wish we could do that on Garden Chat, but here's a link. http://community.netscape.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ws-gardening&tid=199206 . Looking at the link reminds me that I also forgot the Calycanthus.
One of these days, I want to see Texas Bluebonnets blooming in person. California Poppies, too.
We've gotten a bunch of rain over the winter, but we're supposed to be droughty this summer. I heard on the news that Texas is already hurting.

Oxalis, that's what they are.  I knew I'd remember the name as soon as I
walked outside.  Green leaf & purple leaf varieties.

Blackhaw viburnum, Spanish & French lavenders, roses of all descriptions,
all the salvia greggiis, bluebonnets, pansies, dianthus, snapdragons,
lobelia, portulaca, irises, the wood sorrel (shamrock type, real name
escapes me at the moment), a few late leucojums, vinca, ruellia, coreopsis 
and probably a few other things I can't think of off the top of my head.
Now if we could just get some bloody rain.  Driest Spring I can ever
remember....
