Little Spring Bulbs
Here is a set of those very little bulbs which appear in the grass in early spring - Snowdrops, crocus and grape hyacinth. These are of course seasonal, and I have made it so they only appear in Spring, in all other seasons they are invisible. However, if you don't have the Seasons expansion pack they will be visible all the time.
The non-visible seasons have very low poly meshes and null TXMT's to save on memory. I have also disabled neighbourhood view on the flowers for the same reason, though you can restore that easily if you want to risk the dreaded pink flashing.
Each package consists of four flowers in a group. They are quarter tile placeable and are intersectable by sims, so won't cause routing problems.
They are located under Garden center/Flowers and cost $2 each.
Meshes
Snowdrops 686 vertices 486 faces
Crocus 540 vertices 390 faces
Grape Hyacinth 392 vertices 386 faces
Invisible 28 vertices 14 faces.

Acknowledgements
Thanks to Nengi65 for their low poly tulips, and also to Raynuss for making them seasonal. They were the inspiration for these flowers. Thanks also to Raynuss for his single subset seasonal plant template, which I used as the basis for these.
Edit 17.11.2022
Thanks to Izenvy for pointing out that these still dropped leaves in autumn. Whoops! I have now corrected this, so please redownload. You shouldn't need to replace any already placed in game.

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.
