This is a type of toothwort - the greenery is all natural vegetation, mostly wood anemones. The tall pink spikes are the flowers of the toothwort which is a subterranean parasite on the roots of trees, as it has no chlorophyll of its own.
This is taken from a high woodland path, looking down onto the river Liffey as it flows below.

Your photos are always wonderful!
I love seeing all the flowers of spring. Some of the blooms are so short-lived giving way to just greenery. Makes a walk, or in our case a bike ride along the river yesterday, well worth it. Love the card too.
