Eranthis

Common name: winter aconite. The name Eranthis was derived from the Greek words: er (spring) and anthos (flower). The underground parts are rather small, about the size of a pea and mostly irregular in shape; larger specimens resemble a wing nut. The leaves form a rosette lying on the ground, the upper leaves showing some resemblance to a collar, enclosing the flowers. The yellow flowers equipped with many stamens are located at the end of very short (about 5 cm) stems and, after some time, form a veritable carpet of flowers. After flowering, the star-shaped seed pods appear. When they burst open, the round seeds will provide many offspring.
