Thank you for the identification. You are so right, I confirmed it with Google.

Love the banner, Fleur. I always try to guess the subject of each new banner before I open the thread, and I managed to guess it correctly this time. Probably because I grew it many years ago at a former house. One of the earliest spring bloomers. The leaves are so distinctive.

What a pretty little plant & banner, Fleur.
Another new one for me. I can imagine how a carpet or even
just a few of them would be eye-catching in a garden, when everything
else is still dormant.

Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) This lovely native European woodland plant is a beauty to add to any garden. It typically blooms in mid-winter to early spring, producing a bright display of golden yellow buttercup-like flowers. The leaves are basal and divided into many leaflets. These herbaceous perennials grow only to about 15 cm (6 inches) tall.

I love bright yellow petals with the green leaves and the earthy brown background. Great color combos.

Great banner, Fleur. They do have little green tutus, don't they?!

I think this flower needs a shady location if I'm not mistaken, and I just don't have much shade in my yard. It sure would be a nice one to have--I really look forward to the early spring bloomers!

Appreciate your responses to my banner. Thank you. I'm going to put this little flower into my little yellow book 📒of 'Plants to Acquire" now that I know its id and your good reviews.

Gratefully,

Thanks, Cal. I'll look into it more....

Elizabeth, how did it do for you?
Easy care? What conditions did it have?
Any tips on growing? I.e. water, sun, etc.

Cal, that was a long time ago. As I remember, it was slow to spread, but did well after it got established. Hard to say whether that was a function of its location (around the base of a dogwood tree), or a natural habit of the plant or the result of my benign neglect. As far as care, I planted it and left it to its own devices. It was growing among other spring bulbs like crocus and squill.
