Early spring bloomer from Poland’s Tatra mountains, when I was a kid we stayed a summer camp in the high Tatra’s (my dads work involved a lot of travel to Eastern Europe and the soviet bloc). I was swimming at the lake with my brother and climbed up on a dock, only to have a rotten board break and stick a rusty screw through my foot, complete with a 2’ long chunk of algae covered 2x4 attached to it, my brother was too scared to remove the wood and screw attached to my foot so I hopped a mile back to camp with it attached. I remember having the foot cleaned at a local hospital, no anesthetic and a tooth brush scrubbing iodine through the hole in my foot. I don’t remember the wildflowers but I definitely remember the experience
