 Snowdrops (Galanthus species) and Winter Aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) come into flower round about the same time and sometimes grow in close proximity, as is the case here by the roadside in a Hertfordshire village.
 These were spilling out of a nearby garden, reflecting their habit of running wild when the locale suits them- no doubt someone once planted a few and now there are many.
