Hi all
It is Easter Sunday here in Russia so everybody is off to have their Easter Cakes and decorated eggs blessed at their local churches . As we were walking around the local village we saw this plant , can anyone please tell us what
it is?

Absolutly gorgeous
It really is amazing , when I was growing up in Ireland Easter was about gorging yourself with Easter eggs after lent . Here in Russia Easter or Paskha is quite amazing, everybody bakes Kulich , like Italian Panattone , and also hard-boils eggs and then paint and decorate them. They are then brought to the local church in baskets to be blessed . An age old tradition which lasts , which I like
Hi Dachalover,
Is your Easter at the same time every year as they are considering here?
We used to paint hard boiled eggs as children and dying them with gorse flowers and onion skins then roll them down a hill until they cracked and we could eat them. A lot more fun than taking the foil off a chocolate egg but maybe not s tasty!
