Indoors, Polygala dalmaisiana has been flowering right through the winter.
Ian, sorry but I have no good photos Eranthis sibirica, only now these.But there is a great site - Nature of Baikal - http://nature.baikal.ru/ It is possible to see many interesting things, including Eranthis sibirica:http://nature.baikal.ru/phs/ph.shtml?id=2833&ref=phs/spec_whitehttp://nature.baikal.ru/phs/ph.shtml?id=2832&ref=phs/spec_whitehttp://nature.baikal.ru/phs/ph.shtml?id=19850&ref=phs/spec_white
Ian, this is very interesting and robust appearance. This rare plant, but very beautiful.. Not clearly, as it transfers warm winters, in places of its growth snow lies from the end of September on the end of May. Hoy, if you go - it is necessary beforehand to be vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis - the danger is very great.(Tick-borne encephalitis - the deadly viral disease of the brain). I do not know whether I translated the title of this disease ...
Looks like spring has started here!It is fascinating which plants are flowering at the same time in the garden now:Muscari inconstrictum (Cyprus form), Hyacinthella lazulina, Iris persica, Iris reticulata 'Halkis', Iris pamphylica, Iris atropurpurea (first Onco), Leucojum aestivum pulchellum, Galanthus elwesii monostictus (think it is a nice form), Narcissus hedraeanthus ... and some more.
I hadn't heard of that species of Eranthis either. I thought pinnatifida was the only white one. Definitely one to keep an eye out for if seed is ever available.
