I have just seen crocuses in bud, and snowdrops showing white, and a grape hyacinth flowering in my garden. I know we could be in for some more winter, but for now there are signs of spring!

One clump of snowdrops, hellebores and the winter flowering cherry is flowering as it should this winter, it was too cold for it last year!
I would have primroses but something is eating the flowers.

I forgot the primroses, hellebores, and viburnam bodnantense and v. tinus. My earliest (red) camelia is out, too.
Kate, the house sparrows often eat my primroses, as do the green finches. It hasn't happened so far this year.

Not so much a sign of spring but of summer lingering on. I walked past several gardens today with roses in bloom. I've got some in bud but my garden doesn't get any sun in winter so I doubt they'll be showing any time soon. The last ones I had out finished just before christmas. The campanulas have never stopped flowering though, or the nasturtiums.
Spring flowers I do have out are camelia and dark red hellebore, both out since mid December. Snowdrops, primroses, and yellow winter jasmine as well.
Never assume anything - except an occasional air of intelligence.
A number of things in flower in the garden here also- kerria, primroses, a couple of the roses have flowers, my garden peas have flowers also. Saw some snowdrops when out and about, and the flowering cherry in the garden has quite large blossom buds, so they may also break through soon.
Are we having fun yet? I am!
I think my primroses are being eaten by things with either many more legs than sparrows, or no legs at all. The sparrows seem to stay in the hedge.Though perhaps it is the sex pigeons.

Local authority gardeners out in force this week planting up the roundabouts and village tubs with pansies. Seems rather early, perhaps they are at a loose end now the Christmas decorations are down!
