The yellow flower is not clovers (trifolium), but is a buttercup (probably oxalis pes-caprae, an invasive species).

I was wondering about that! It must be that they are not open and so I didn’t recognize them.
I questioned whether it could be buttercups
Thanks,

Spring is today.

I enjoy the sunlight shining through the petals line this!

So this appears to be a purple Helliborus!
It’s so beautiful and I appreciate meeting it for the very first time today! What a treat!
“The common name hellebore [with 5 petals], is assigned to several species of plants in the Helleborusgenus of the Ranunculaceae family, which also includes monkshood, delphinium, and anemone.”

Yes, this is what it is. These flowers are planted near the bees, as they bring valuable pollen in spring.

Lucky bees!
What do the leaves look like. Those petals have such a unique shape!

Yes, Jérôme,
those leaves are indeed unusual and no obvious similarity to the structure of the flowers. Do the leaves have 6 or is is 7 leaflet components?
I see the flowers hang inverted! How might that possibly specify or influence what pollinators are attracted?
