Can you name these spring flowers?

Spring has sprung in the Ostfriedhof

I was walking in the Ostfriedhof yesterday and spotted some spring flowers. This picture is from a couple years back, but I saw the white flowers, as indicated by the orange arrows in the photo. Does anyone know what they are called? The flower portion hangs downward from the stem, and has three larger petals.

And how about the other white flower with the little yellow spots (yellow arrow)? It is bell-shaped.

The crocuses (blue arrow), I recognize.

Any additional names and photos of common spring flowers in Munich would be great.

Snowdrops (orange arrows). Can't think of the name of the other...

The white ones with yellow spots are called Märzbecher, spring snowflake in English. The other white ones are Schneeglöckchen, or snowdrops.
Janx Spirit
Märzenbecher, that's right. Also known as Frühlings-Knotenblume, Großes Schneeglöckchen and in English also as a summer snowflake...

Thanks for the quick replies. With your answers, I was able to find the latin name:

Common Snowdrop or Old English snowdrop: Galanthus Nivalis


Spring snowflake: Leucojum vernum


Have any other spring flowers been spotted so far?

I have these yellow guys popping up along with the snow drops in my garden. They look almost like something you'd see on a berry vine, but I couldn't tell you what they are.

Winter aconite. Winterling in German.
