Shakespeare says that the celandine is the first sign of spring. If you go to the 2014 thread, page 6 you will see what is flowering on my garden today. You would be forgiven for thinking we have had no winter to speak of in bristol this year. The spring flowers have all relished the wet especially the snowdrops.
Snowdrops, crocus, primroses, helliboris (white and rosy mauve), yellow jasmine, miniature iris, iberis(?) bergena and yes - lovely blue periwinkle - the roots of which I have been ripping up all week - I love the little flowers but it is a triffid in my garden. The little pink buds are just about to burst on my prunus. My daffodils are not nearly ready to be sociable yet. Even without the flowers, there is a lot of colour from berries and rose hips and the sundance choisyas. I am just so happy to be out in the garden again. I'm on holiday this week and have been out everyday for a good few hours. I am bent double but oh what blissful agony.

Aubrieta, well I did say it was a little flower.

Just been out with the dog and saw a single celandine down by the river

I don't really want Daisy's but at least a bit of colour.
First Crocus.
Flower buds coming on climbing roses. First peach blossom and 6 daffodils now!

Hellebores, anemone, mini daffs in my garden so far.
My first iris reticulata 'Cantab' is out in the garden
