Globeflowers.
There can be no true spring without globeflowers (Trollius europaeus). They will soon be flowering, the first flowers have already been seen. The beautiful flowers, often painted by artists, grow in small groups, and they can best be found in damp areas when the spring floods have receded. The fragile beauty of this buttercup family species has been described by Uku Masing (in “Mälestusi taimedest”, “Memories of plants”): “I haven’t forgotten that their fragrance is out of this world, and that I always imagined the wings of angels to be as airy and as translucent as the petals of the globeflower, regardless of the fact that angels' wings are feathered.”
