Along with the more common yellow-flowered Eranthis hiemalis I have some E. pinnatifida in bloom in the garden. They were raised from fresh seed sent to me a few years ago from a friend in Japan. I sowed the seed directly into the garden, in a couple of places, and all of them are now producing. There were flowers last year, but I noticed them only as they were passing over. Dainty white flowers with a central ring of "C" shaped structures ?stamens maybe - at least there are two golden dots, one at each end of a "C" so I make my assumption that's what they are, surrounding multiple violet stigma in center. Very ethereal effect. Finely frilled grayish green leaf beneath each flower. And glory be, even if I didn't notice them last year the bees must have found them because I see little seedlings. Yay!
