This early-blooming plant flowers shortly after the snow melts and retreats when spring becomes summer: http://www.bhg.com/gardening/flowers/perennials/early-blooming-flowers/?socsrc=bhgpin030215winteraconite&page=14

When nature throws away the winter's shackles
Discovered in the garden or the woods
Even the audible perception
The stiffest coldest long winter
After discovering it
The sun's glorious beams
The first small flowers
Pure happiness
Celebrate 
New nests
Proof

Hi Anne-Lise, such a wonderful write from your pen. This is such a soft, beautiful write. When the snow melts, the proof shows its beautiful little head. After the snow melts, beauty does lift its head. A fave. Have a wonderful Christmas Anne-Lise. hugs....Mike. XX
