Early entrant?
Went back to look at it and there it was GONE[
I wonder if this is what happened waaaay back in the early days when one of mine showed as a total, blank, black, sheet.

It occurred  unto me recently, that photography can be a bit awkward when you spend a goodly chunk of your time "confined to barracks" as it were.
I had a sort of, low grade idea.

Worrif ? on the C.B. days I tried to track everything which flowered in the garden "as-and-when".
THEN ? This thing popped its head over the parapet a weeny bit early, ahead of the Snowdrops.

I can't always run them down to Species and varietal names, but I know this is one of the Hellebores,  the white ones often called "Christmas Rose", with others, including this one "Lenten Rose".

Anybody seen Lent anywhere?
