Glorious 💛

Definitely. Easily overlooked amongst other vegetation, especially with lesser celandines and snowdrops in the mix.😏

I'd only seen one post, so decided I'd better see how this plant was faring this year near me. Well worth the effort.

Thank you Jeremy.

Thanks Jeremy. I haven't seen the pink form either yet near me. I just happened to be passing this site and thought I'd check how it was doing. A lovely surprise 😄🤍!

Great to see this in flower. Will have to check out the sites near me shortly.

I was quite surprised to see it Jeremy. Having said that, I noticed a number of trees down the cycle track near me yesterday with buds on.

Thanks Jeremy. Certainly wasn't. Your recent post of Stinking Hellebores and Spurge Laurel inspired me to have a look at those plants in my neck of the woods. 😄 Stinking Hellebores just opening but Spurge Laurel a couple of weeks away I think.

Beautiful finds.
