Hi Hoy

Yes the past couple of days have been very nice - sunny and +13C  8)

I got this plant about five years ago from a friend that had got it from Russia. But I have to say that I'm not very impressed when it comes to the the pink colour :P Anyway - pink or not, it's a very nice Eranthis that grows well in my garden. The flower can be a bit sensitive to hard frost after it's opened, but absolutely hardy. I'll try to get another photo when they opens.

Here's what might be a new species of Corydalis close to C. capitata, from Pujigou in Baoxing :)

Do you grow it in your garden? A very nice one, anyway!

Here are my not so new species in the garden now: Corydalis solida  ;)

Thank you Wim!  :)
Gmoen - I'm getting really envious. I have to say it again: What a beautiful Eranthis!

Emma, what a lovely flower!
I have never seen one like that. It looks very delicate.

Can there be a plant more dainty than soldanella? Exquisite photos from Emma and Cliff - who could resist a plant like this!
