This is a mystery flower that has arrived. The surrounding ferns were well cut back which may have allowed this plant to go forward!
If anyone knows what this flower is I will be forever grateful. I've googled and googled until I am now goggled!
Thankful for:
My iPhone which is so good at close-ups!
I know the little tiny one is a violet! The bigger one looks like it might be in the cyclamen family? Perhaps @julzmaioro will know. It's a cute flower.
Looks like @gijsje could be right .. I would of guessed at a violet of some sort.. Its a very long way from home according to Beps link.. It's pretty.. strange how these things turn up..
Looks like you are sorted....so many garden experts on 365...I’m sadly very lacking! I hope more flowers pop up...the light has obviously encouraged it to show its face!
I think that it is a fawn lily (dogs tooth violet.) I looked it up as my initial thought was cyclamen but the leaves did not match. Also known as erythronium.
It looks a lot like the trout lily I find in the Michigan woods every spring, except mine are yellow. We also call it a dog's tooth violet or adder's tongue. Certainly odd - yet beautiful - to see a purple one!
