The Corydalis in my last post is just an ordinary C. cava.

Thanks, I should have recognized it because I have it, too (not come up yet for this year) :)

Nice Soldanella, Wim.
Irm, that is a fine Sanguinaria, indeed.

Here is Soldanella montana in flower.

So many beautiful plants - it's like having multiple springs to see what's blooming around the world.

I don't think we have any Anemonellas up yet - though they may be covered with corydalis growth meantime.

I am VERY glad to see that deer have not eaten the Epigaea repens - it was bad enough seeing the loss of your daphnes.  Perhaps the fact it is so low growing protects it?

A tad late this year Epigaea repens didn't start flowering here until late March.  A very special plant that graces our roadsides and woodlands.  The fragrance is outstanding.  It grows in the nastiest places   - seemingly lifeless soil along with British Soldiers and Fairy Cups.  Our provincial flower.
