First spring flowers. Saxifraga family Bergenia emeiensis and Bergenia stracheyi, Mukdenia rossii, all three native to Asia, a few Saxifragas from Europe Very cute succulent primula, one of many others in the garden Next two are very special for me. I grew up with these wild flowers, what we kids used to pick in April-May. first one has common name a snowdrop because it starts blooming when the snow is still around in the forest and second name refers to honey plant for making honey. It grows in the forest, exactly like these, some flowers are pink, some blue on the same stem. Second is Tussilago, nobody knows and uses this Latin name for this very famous flower in Russia. Common translated name would be Mother -and -Stepmother, sides of the leaves are very different, one is soft and warm and another side(outer) colder. This flower grows along roads and occupies other open spaces, not in the forest.
