Fairygirl like the bird, Busy-Lizzie great pictures nice to see the daffs
Here is my list not as long as last year
Yellow wild primula
Kerria double yellow - that was nice to see did not notice till you look out for plants
Primula purple/blue, yellow and pink ones
Pansy purple colours
Cyclemen
Viola
Alyssum white
Mahonia - spikey one
1 flower on Jasmine, 2 flowers on Hebe Lisa
The cornus is looking good red and yellow ones I know they are not flowers, a robin helped me out side singing nicley. Lucky I did the count when dry wet now
Binoculars Topbird? We were out there in the persistence. I suggested postponing til tomorrow but was over-ruled. Probably best, another frost tonite would have wiped out even more flowers.
Punkdock nealy had calendula at the allotment but cut down yesterday to the small plants at the base of plants and also nearly an antirrhinum in flower

I forgot about Euphorbia...shouldn't have since it was only planted a couple of months ago....
Can't remember which one it is either...double
Tiny buds on my Sarcococca but I didn't think they counted.
Think you're all having the rain we had yesterday. It's good to share
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
