Hans,
is that Salix melanostachys you show?
I have these species in a container, but not yet "flowered" after the long and cold winter.

Well named, Uli.
I grew it a number of years ago but the name would not come into my head. It was a nuisance of a plant with me as it attracted aphids in huge numbers. I threw it out.

Adonis amurensis
Chrysoplenum macrophyllum
very hairy young Meconopsis, seeded into a path
Eranthis hyemalis is going over.... but look at the bunch of seedling at the front....
hellebores and colchicum leaves
Scoliopus bigelowii opening....
some bright colour, but what's the funny mulch to the right hand side?
...it is not a mulch... it's the bronze new foliage of a yellow Anemone

I hear that Ian has seen his first Erythronium in flower in the wild in the USA....... He is a happy man!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, as they used to say .....
some lovely soft Pinus strobus foliage.... long soft blue grey needles, this small tree ( about 2m high x 1.5m across) is very tactile
nearby Rhododendron 'Ptarmigan' is opening
by the front door, a wee trough shows a Campanula with promise for later..
also in a trough, a fuzzy pic of this sweet little white Hepatica
a detour to a glass house.... here are some Narcissus x susannae.... one of my favourites
I have Fritillaria pix to post in the Bulb Section later ...

... And we have always been told that the north of Scotland can be weeks behind the rest of the U.K.! Many of your plants are way ahead of mine, Maggi. Beautiful images ... congratulations.

I think I have some more Hellebore photos, too, for that section, but here are a few more bits and bobs...
Here is the sun shing through a flower head of Rhododendron thomsonii McBeath..... the high winds the other day have resulted in 90% of the flowers lying in the ground.... this form seems to have VERY brittle pedicels and any wind in the few days around the opening of the flowers means that most, ( sometimes ALL!!
) will be blown off..
Here's a wee Scilla...
there are quite a lot of white things about....
and the paeony foliage looks good...
this another of those white things....
and another....... this Narcissus papyraceus is in a pot outside....
this is in a pot nearby, just as well because the one in the open garden had all its flowers frosted... this is Rhododendron Cilpinense
