Caltha palustris

Wow, the white-flowered form is really extraordinary!  White flowers can look so pristine, and this is no exception.

'Himalayan Snow' is stunning and very different from the white I have!

Excellent, Todd.

And I was just going to ask: what makes your Himalayan Snow special?
How about a pic of yours, Trond.  Mind you, I know nothing off this species.

I have always liked Kingcup/marsh marigold. Here you often find them along creeks in the woods or other marshy places. They seem to belong to another place when you see them together with other woodland/marsh plants.

Here are my white marsh marigold, notice the difference in the form of the petals. The first picture is from April and the second today.

Most of our white ones look the same...Himalayan Snow was selected for its wider, more overlapping petals and the pink-flushed reverse on the petals.

And a very nice selection it is.
