Spring has sprung here at the bottom of New Zealand.
Scoliopus bigelovii .In previous years I've caught a slight whiff of it's disagreeable scent however this year the smell was almost unbearable as i tried to get in close with the 60mm macro lens.
Iris reticulata Katharine Hodgkin .The colouring seems more vibrant this season .I wonder if this is because the trough was emptied about 3 months ago and new mix added .
Narcissus tazetta ssp patulus needs a warm sunny spot hence i grow it in a pot .This one has a pleasant scent.

Dave, I am smitten with Veratrum viride, green flowers are so cool. How tall does your plant grow? I intend on growing more species of this genus.

I remember transplanting a few wild Veratrum viride into the family garden many years ago in New Brunswick (Canada). Just checked the USDA plant profile for it,
http://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=VEVI and it seems they haven't received reports from Nova Scotia. Will have to keep my eyes out for it when hiking this summer, in case it is actually here (which I suspect to be true). Mark, you may be able to find it in Massachusetts.
