Ribes malvaceum

Soft pink flowers in dangling clusters among soft green foliage any time from autumn to spring in its native California, where it is important for nectar for birds and insects. 

Not the most brightly coloured Ribes but certainly one of the earliest flowering - in full flower here through frost and snow in January. 

Completely hardy here. Suitable for sun or shade, especially among evergreens.
