No need to rub it in. Down here at the bottom of the world we’re still waiting for summer to happen – at least in the bit where I live. We haven’t had one day when I would’ve wanted to go for a swim! Autumn has one good thing down here: the leaves don’t fall – so very little raking! Nonetheless, I share you excitement, hope and joy at the beginnings of Spring!
The pink blossoms are my Christmas camellias, which were so frozen before Christmas, they never bloomed. Luckily, a few of them survived and are now gracing us with their delicate pink!
Early stirrings here in Gloucestershire: a few primulas, crocus, snowdrops and, this morning, three daffodils emerged. But we’re threatened with snow tonight/tomorrow! Still, it’ll soon be here in full. Thanks for the lovely pics, Noelle.
Your welcome, Stuart. I haven’t seen snowdrops since we lived in Chicago. Probably because we hardly ever have snow? The croci and the daffies are hardy little things. I love to see pictures of them pocking through the snow…
There is a park in Liverpool which has been planted with thousands of daffodil bulbs – to walk there in the spring is an amazing experience. Acres of yellow, bobbing in the wind. Hope you get a chance to see it sometime.
All the gorgeous flowers we connect with spring. I suppose we’ll have to wait a few more weeks in Norway to see this beauties…
They’ll be there! Spring is inevitable!

Just sharing…hope you enjoy the blossoms! No summer this year?
Gorgeous
Hopefully they bring some sunshine!
We had some…briefly…today.
Oh, that looks so wonderful, Noelle. Thanks for the peek at spring.

What is the second one. I want some for my yard.
Winter daphne, according to Gene!
Not in my neck of the woods yet, but I have hope!
This was designed to provide that – it’s coming!

we’ve had exactly the same flowers here for over 2 weeks…
Gorgeous – I’m hoping it stays cool so they will last!
Beautiful
Yay I’ve just arranged to go for a walk in the local park
