One of the earliest flowering plants in my garden. The flowers change colors. The leaves are deep green and palmate. Great in the shade or some sun.

Shady. Damp areas.

Different all together. The wild roses by the sea are true roses. Great for rose hip tea. Lenten rose is not a rose but for some reason neede a better name than hellebore.
I am new to the area so much of the wildlife here is slightly different than than the ones I know. Are these roses the same ones that grow wild along the coastline or is that a different sort all together?
