I found at a stroll around the park in my neighbourhood, the Field Horsetails were sprouting up on the ground.
The sprout of Field Horsetail is called TSUKUSHI in Japanese and it gives a poetic touch to the early spring in Japan. People love it as a sign of spring.
Wishing you all a Happy Easter!
More clear view of shoots is in lightbox with full-screen.
This is called Setsubun-sou in Japanes that is one of species of Ranunculaceae family and an endemic species of Japan.
It is very small flower, the diameter of flower is about 2.0cm from 1.5cm and the height of this plant is 10cm, more or less. You can compare the flower with a honeybee as shown in the image below.
This plant grows in colonies and blooms around middle of February as a sign of early spring. However, flowering was delayed almost half a month than usual because of the severe cold of this winter.
