Mike, that's a stunningly beautiful display of Sanguinaria canadensis multiplex growing in your garden.  The Trillium seedling is very fine too  

More beauties - ooooooOOOOOO

Primula scotia is something to dream about and I bet the Daphne smells gorgeous - how big will your Daphne x susannae Tichborne grow it seems to hug the tufa

Hepatica transsylvanica is not reliably hardy here and is often cut back but the hevy snow cover seems to have been beneficial.

Really? I had the impression that you didn't have colder winters than we do. We had a minimum of -24C this winter with very little snowcover and my transylvanica has come through without any problem (just coming into flower now). I thought it was perfectly hardy.

Hepatica transylvanica is completely hardy here too. 

Well it has been cut back by something every other winter - not dead but weakened. This winter was the best ever with its -24°C but with very thick snow cover. It could also be a clonal problem.

Looking from ant's way.

That is a super picture Olga. i have tried to do it but your is really much better - perhaps I should try a mirror but where get one big enough silvered on the wrong side?

Mike,

that carpet of S. canadensis 'Multiplex' is stunning.

Here are some pictures of plants which are flowering here now:

Glaucidium palmatum
Morisia monanthos
Polygala chamaebuxus 'Grandiflora'
Primula auricula 'Dusky Yellow'
Primula auricula 'Rajah'
Pulsatilla georgica

[gote]

Euphorbia myrsinites is one of my favourites. Does anyone grow E. capitulata?

I did I believe I still do - or it is theother way round?

PS
Why?

[Lesley Cox]

Because it is a species I once admired in the St Andrews Botanic Garden in Scotland, and I don't think I've seen it ever mentioned here on the Forum or in any book or journal. Makes a lovely mat. I like (most) euphorbias.

[Olga Bondareva]

So beautiful flowers you show! I am jealous of your late spring and lots of blooming plants.

Mike your  Tichborne is outstanding! And large clump of double Sanguinaria to.

Göte thanks! I didn't use mirror. It is natural light only. You could use not only mirror big white surface to.

Pulsatilla georgica

Small lovely plant!

Lori you've got a good result. 

[Olga Bondareva]

Only a few new flowers opened yesterday.

Pulsatilla vernalis



Pulsatilla halleri ssp. taurica



Primula minima

[daveyp1970]

Olga i love the picture of the P.minma and the snail 

[Ragged Robin]

Lovely things flowering for you Wim 

Primula auricula 'Rajah' is fascinating and I love your Pulsatilla georgica - Polygala chamaebuxus 'Grandiflora' is very cute with such bold colouring 

[Ragged Robin]

Olga i love the picture of the P.minma and the snail 

Me too!  It brings the proportions into focus and makes one look at the detail - thanks, as always, for such superb photos Olga 

[JPB]

Viola reichenbachiana. Note "blue" spur
Viola palustris. Beautiful flower, but so small that sharpness of picture is a problem

[Ragged Robin]

Tiny, but absolutely charming Hans - Does Viola palustris always have to be in the wet? It really is a gorgeous colour.

[Lesley Cox]

We think we've seen it all, with some plants then Olga shows it to us from a new angle or in such a different way that it's like having our eyes opened for the first time. Thanks so much Olga for your delicious photos. They give such pleasure.
