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.

 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
112591-1

by the front door, a wee trough shows  a Campanula with promise for later..
112593-2

 also in a trough, a fuzzy pic of this sweet little white Hepatica
112595-3

a detour to a glass house.... here are some Narcissus x susannae.... one of my favourites
112597-4

... 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..
112599-0

 Here's a wee Scilla...
112601-1

there are quite a lot of white things about....
112603-2

and the paeony foliage looks good...
112605-3

this another of those white things....
112607-4

 and another....... this Narcissus papyraceus is in a pot outside....

112609-5


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
112611-6
