Eranthis pinnatifida is very tiny and so easy enough to miss in real life.... but look at the details we see those flowers via the digital photo..... absolutely stunning... one of my all time favourites. Ours are just showing above ground.

I shall be eagerly awaiting my hopefully second year growth of pinnatifida courtesy of seed from a generous SRGC benefactor on this forum.  I'm nervous about whether they'll appear for the second year, but fingers are firmly crossed for about August when I expect them to hopefully appear.  ;D

Cyclamen coum Meadens Crimson it is the most wonderfully intense shade of .... I don't know you tell me.

Meaden's Crimson is a stunning colour. Almost looks like a miniature pseudibericum. I should have one out in the garden somewhere (turfed all my cyclamen out to live a free range existence years ago, and they did fine in the run of mild winters - be interesting to see what's surived the recent hard freezes).

Ian, thanks for the beauty!
 Our country is growing Eranthis sibirica, is that the tone - a close relative Eranthis pinnatifida.

But before flowering Eranthis even two months... :(
While at us - snowdrifts and a frost.
