looking at the buds on my camellias, we should have the best year ever ...... although I have been a bit concerned that the buds may drop in this spell of freezing weather.

Re: Yes, Spring is on its way!
Daffodils are as usual showing themselves. They are clustered around the fence posts and are about 15cms high, with buds just about showing. This happens every year without fail no matter what the weather or how cold it is. It definitely is a good sign that spring is on the way, however, for the exact number of days (39 days to go now) I use this:https://timer-clock.com/countdown/sp...s-until-spring
Seeing that countdown on a cold, wet or snowy day does lift the spirits and the belief that spring really is on the way!

Re: Yes, Spring is on its way!
Lovely pictures Mags, gives us something to plan towards and enjoy.My Snowdrops are all out and have been for a week or more now.
Camellias don't all flower at the same time though. I have a very pretty pink & white one which is for my old 'Pips' doggy I lost in 2016, and it is an early one so had big buds that started splitting a couple of weeks ago. I have thrown a fleece over it else I fear the buds will get frosted and drop off.
I have another two, beautiful bright red ones that probably won't open till as late as April.
I've bought my seed packets ready to start sowing one or two early crops shortly, and have all my spring bedding plugs on order.
I saw a perfect phrase which says . . "To plan a garden is to believe in tomorrow." And that always gives me hope.
