The snow have almost gone and then the Eranthis shows all over the lawn like a yellow carpet.

Eranthis / Winter aconite / Eranthis hyemalis/ Erantis, is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae the Buttercup family, native to southern Europe and east across Asia to Japan.
They are among the first to appear in spring, as early as January in mild climates, though later where winter snowpack persists; they are frost-tolerant and readily survive fresh snow cover unharmed.
