Target the CSS element with a specific class only if it is not the first child within its parent

In my coding project, I have created a div.container which contains multiple p elements. Some of these p elements have the class p.special. My goal is to select the p.special elements that are not positioned at the very top of the parent container (i.e., not the first child element of .container).

While I am aware that achieving this task using jQuery would be simple, I am specifically looking for a pure CSS solution.

To provide clarity on the issue, I have included a visual aid in the form of an explanatory image:
