Thanks. I found a positive ID at the web link below. Here is a link that might be useful: Plants of the Primrose Family

Thank you! I can't believe how quickly you answered my question! I am new to this forum and really appreciate your help. I knew this had to be something "wonderful" but my master gardner friends didn't see it as particularly special - perhaps because they were unfamiliar with it. Cheers!

The first looks like a corydalis, but differs from my Corydalis lutea. The second is a puzzler. The foliage does not remind me of geranium nor does the shape of the bloom resemble Uvularia. How many petals? Are the leaves baaal? Can you describe the flower and leaves more fully?

Unless someone has seen this before it would be difficult even with an image. But here is a link to the New England Wildflower Society. If anyone would know someone there should.
