Burying the Winter?

The Hungarian name of Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) is "Winter bury(er?)".

On Saturday at noon I had the foolish idea to go and see the Eranthis plants growing on the Hárs Hill, near Budapest. And we were really astonished seeing that the flowers were about to open already. It was a warm and more or less sunny day. Last year we saw them on the same place in March, I wrote about it then. 
There were many other tourists coming along enjoying the spring-like day, but nobody understood what about these two fools on all fours, photographing those yellow flowers.



And the beautiful pictures of my husband can be seen HERE.
