  Initially the buds look like lilac-coloured flames on the upright stems, but then the flowers start to open more and more, gradually becoming almost flattened as they mature. The contrast between the lilac on the upper parts of the petals and the yellow base is striking, especially when the flowers open as they are usually viewed from above. A showy treat for the late winter and early spring garden
