Gorgeous! Any chance of some seed later? I could offer Trillium kurabayashii (not easy to germinate though) in return.

Not sure if it sets seeds, but if it does. Trillium k seed should be collected a soon as the seed pod ripens and sown immediately.

That's what I was planning, but I'm glad to have confirmation.

I noticed a single Helleborus orientalis (the common hybrid) fully out at the weekend, and a single snowdrop flowering in the middle of a patch of bare earth I dug over during the holidays. Nothing as nice as that though, and as I hadn't checked whether the camera batteries needed recharging, I couldn't even take pics.
