First time for me this year so don't know what to expect.

When would you expect them to break the surface in your location?

Buttercups are a speciality of the house, but their mollycoddled cousins are a new plant for me.  I remember my mum growing them in Orkney but - believe it or not - Orkney gets far fewer frosts than many other places in Scotland.  Nowhere in Orkney is more than 3 miles from the sea.
