This is a woodland plant and therefore flowers in Spring before the leaves have made the light levels too low. It also grows in conditions similar to woodland such as under rocks in mountain areas which is where this was flowering. In mountain areas Spring flowers like this can still be seen in flower as late as July or even August.
