It’s amazing how much further forward you are @WonkyWomble, being further south and away from the North Sea frets that come down from the Wash ... I’d say you’re ten days ahead of us.
In the meantime the photo is Amaryllis ‘Tosca’. .., the last of the three you gave me for Christmas, is putting on such a performance ... and there are two stems after the one you can see (which has 5 buds).

@Dovefromabove ( or indeed @WonkyWomble since you gifted them to Dove) ... I always thought amaryllis only had one stalk from a bulb ... should they normally have multiple stems? ( if so perhaps I inadvertently screwed up looking after mine last year )
@Desi_in_London ... the bigger (and more expensive) the amaryllis bulb, the more stems it should have ... but I think 3 is about the limit. @WonkyWomble bought me some really special bulbs 😃

It's great to see so much colour on here isn't it, that pink anemone it beautiful @Fire. Your hard work paid off @Yviestevie, your flowerbed looks super tidy. The urn/vase is lovely too and although I have loads of lovely Hellebores I haven't got any of those lovely double ones.....yet

I’ve taken this photo from the kitchen, with the phone attached to a pair of binoculars. I know... 😜
