It does indeed look like Eranthis.

Yep, winter aconite or Eranthis

thanks I think first time found in N.Greece.

have you dug this up from the wild Bik?

Yes I did. In fact I was looking for tulips that there are thousands in the area and I found this plant. It will be difficult to go again there after few weeks because of dense growth of shrubs to see flowers. I ll try anyway because I think never refered eranthis in greece.

perhaps I send plants in university of athens

is it not illegal to dig up wild plants in Greece? it is illegal in Britain so I was curious. It will be good to find out Bik :o)

Illegal or not Ihave already worned from people of university of athens not to dig up everything I found in the wild. I usually take propagting material and when I found lots of plants of one kind , a couple of them. I have send tulips in Univercity of Athens and they recognized them as Tulipa rhodopaea.very well known species in Bulgaria. Very beautiful plant. you can see in my photos taken in the wild.

some specific plants such as haberlea rhodopensis, is protected by low.Idont know about the whole flora.
I think there shude be strict low for any plant.
flora in greece isnot in danger from greek people(they arent pay such an attention as you in Uk.)
Gardening in Greece in general, is far from that you know and you mean in Uk or in Europe.
