Spring flowers in bloom, Daffodils, Snowdrops, Primroses. Better than a tonic, surprising really as we have had lots and lots rain, maybe they have developed webbed roots. :-D

ZZzzz ......... the early spring seems to be world wide, ermmmm Norhern Hemisphere wide!

Snowdrops etc are out here

The forsythia bushes in our garden are already flowering. I'll have to get OH to cut some branches for me to have in the house.

We have snowdrops and daffodils, as expected but we also have a large camellia in bloom and that isn't supposed to flower until May. :-S

I guess they go by the weather / temperature then, it would be nice for our bodies to accept that and be warm too eh.

coming back from Cheltenham yesterday there were several blossom trees in full bloom, definitely early this year Nature won't know if it is coming or going. In my garden I have Hellebores, crocus, daffodils and snowdrops. They do cheer us up when they suddenly appear.

I noticed a bed of lovely deep purple violets today. There were so many in a small
area. :-D

Nearby willow trees were started to come into leaf too.

Hello Elizabeth hav'nt seen you around lately.

I had roses out on the wall in December but a hard frost put paid to those but loads of snowdrops crocus, hellibores small daffs and some big ones and primroses too O and my hyasynths are nearly out showing colour of blue and pink bulbs that were in pot years ago and come up every year. When you see them it lifts your heart after all the rain and dull weather we've have had lately. I don't think my forsythia is out yet and its up on the south facing wall.

I have daffodils in flower, and a helborus my daughter planted last year blosoming.
I've also got 2 teasles that have had small 'flowers' low down, in the centre of the plant since last year!
One thing I've nearly beaten are the hundreds of grape hyacinths that were everywhere!
