You've got the first one of the season I think, nice to see them returing.

I'll be blowed! That's the last thing I thought of - no wonder I didn't find what they were looking for pinkish flowers.

Haha, threw me for a loop the first time I saw it as well, much harder to recognise without the flower!
Have a look at these sightings, its a good "timeline".

Thanks for the link, but I beat you to it and already had a look for "evidence" of the pinkish outer petals (calyx?) after your ID. Tricky plants! But it serves me right for wanting to ID before the flowers are open.
