White heartshaped petals fallen between last year's fallen leaves. The flowers of Brilliant Cinquefoil (Potentilla montana) do not keep long, a little gust of wind is enough to let them fall.
In April you can find its flowers and silvery leaves on roadsides and woodland edges on sandy soil. It prefers sunny spots on acidic soil. But sometimes it flowers already in March.
Its flowering is more striking than that of Barren Srawberry.
