It is not like what you guys show up here in the mountains! The Pulsatilla vernalis has barely showed its buds. However it is at least a month early though.

So it is supposed to have 4 petals, or is this just an aberration this year?  I love it!

In spite of the cool temperatures our family went traditionally to the meadow garden and looked what the
Easter Bunny has hidden for them under the shrubs. My most welcome gift was the find of a fasciated
Primula elatior flower among some 'normal' ones. The early geophytes are mostly out of flower, but many
other plants replace them, like Brunnera ,Anemone blanda, ranunculoides and nemerosa flower profusely.
Other plants in the rockgarden and the frames by the house show their pretty faces.

Your blue iris is a gem Ron. :D

I have a very nice form of Anemone nemorosa called 'Winterwood Pink' from an Australian garden. Like the red form above it starts almost white but gradually darkens to this same rich, deep pink then stays that way for a couple of weeks before dying off. It's very good. Sort of hits me in the eye when I drive in through the gateway - in spring of course. :)

It had a name once Lesley  ::). Unfortunately ( pre forum days ) we popped plants we liked in the garden and didn't want labels everywhere. Wonder what it is?
