Hello Eva yes it is a tiny plant and light was very dim. I drove 2500 kms just to look it up :) - but what a sensation when stumbling over the first one. Has springtime arrived i Kiev?? best wishes Peter

EVA_L on February 27, 2008

Dear Peter! Now in Kiev we have +14C, but promise a drop in temperature. But a spring lives in our hearts and our pictures. Long live spring! Best wishes. Eva

Very beautiful! Nice photo.

Dear Eva, oh thought it might be colder at your place now, but guess the continental location makes it a sharp break from winter to spring. Here it's below 10C - but flowers in the garden think it's late march somehow - a little bit strange. Peter
