However they grow well in ordinary woodland. Too well actually. Be careful!! Götethere are no springs here, but there are low areas-wet in wet years, moist in dry, the chrysosplenium i have seen only in those low wettish places in shade, but maybe your ordinary woodlands are moister than ours?; this plant doesn't seem like it could take over anything here, but i have only seen it in areas where there is some presence of grazing cattle, so it may be subject to grazing or trampling limiting its success; i will keep an eye on it, but plan to grow it with other natives anyway, so no danger of it overwhelming any delicate exotics i'd be happy to have a nice big patch of it!

A Dactylorhiza that i got today some people might not like the yellow splashing on the leaves but i like it.
Hi, firstly, I agree with Maggie we are so fortunate that we can appreciate the beauty of plants and flowers and it is great that we share this passion on the forum.

Lovely pics everyone. Here is my Gentiana acaulis doing well this year
some photos from 11 days ago-- native willow species growing in a half-wild farm area which is grazed by cattle, and the woodies are browsed--at times heavily-by deer and moose..at the time these were taken, there was virtually nothing else in flower--maybe a few scattered petasites, and probably poplars--but those catkins are high up and you only see them close when they fall.. so the bees were very busy in the willows..Salix species

Olga, as usual, love all your photos, but the third one of "Hepatica nobilis double form", the composition clearly speaks to the viewer, the pink Hepatica leaning in and saying "me too, me too"!
