Lesser celandine greets the spring sunshine with outstretched petals.
I know they can become a pest in the garden but I do like their cheerful faces.

Know what you mean, I wish they would stick to the lawn/hegderows and steer clear of my prize geraniums.

Oh, indeed. Over the last month such days have been rare, we must be enjoying about one half day a week at most and I can’t help but fear for the bees.

Ah, sunshine on a stalk! Ours seem to be a bit behind yours, no sign of flowers yet.

They do bring a bit of sunshine don’ t they? Impossible to get rid of in the borders though.

Too true, especially by hand weeding alone which I find just spreads them about. Still, they are not the worst weed in my country garden ….

The trick of getting rid of them is to use a trowel and lift them with some soil. Not guaranteed but should eventually get rid of them.

Thanks, Steve, that sounds a good way of avoiding breaking the tubers and so spreading them. Also has to be done over the next couple of months before the leaves disappear!

They are rampant in gardens here, maybe a hangover from when the area was wooded.
