Spring Flowers

I was having a wander around the garden earlier and saw that the snowdrops are just about to flower and also I have some daffodils in bud which I thought was a bit early! I think the bluebells are also coming up, meant to go over and have a look but forgot!

I was talking to somebody from Hayling Island last week and she actually has a daffodil in flower.

Just wondered if anybody else has spring bulbs starting to flower

Re: Spring Flowers

I've noticed my crocuses are coming up too, it must be the exceedingly mild winter weather we've had.

Re: Spring Flowers

My daffodils has some buds on-far too early and my neighbour has quite a few snowdrops open.

At end of local news this evening, they showed a photo someone had sent in showing a group of flowering daffodils in their garden-made me feel like spring is on its way

Re: Spring Flowers

There is a tree on a walk near our house that is just breaking from bud into leaf very early as it usually starts breaking in March .. I still have roses coming into flower and my Margeret Merril is just breaking bud again also I have Pelargoniums that are still in leaf usually the first sign of frost and they are a black mushy mess very strange this year but I won't complain if this is as bad as it gets....

Re: Spring Flowers

I still have one flower and leaves left on my summer fuchsia, usually the plant is bare at this time of the year.

Re: Spring Flowers

Snowdrops and bluebells came up weeks ago, now crocuses and daffs are up too. Not flowering yet, still have roses in bloom from summer.
