    Nice to see those, Sjoerd - a hopeful harbinger of Spring.

    A few are poking above ground here as well.

    Given the moment, we can call these our Solstice welcomers.

    Daniel— I will go along with that. I feel that was too.
    I popped out to the lottie this rainy day for a looksy. I could tell that it was the solstice because it was so quickly dark. Gloomy day, but your helpful posting made me feel a bit more positive. BTW— That is a nice-looking plak with what looks to be an Indian motief. I like that very much.

    I am glad you liked my daffs…good to hear that you are seeing their points as well. It is a bit early for them here though.

    Loggie— Ta. I wonder how long the points have actually been above ground. Anyhow, this is quite early for them to be showing.

    Spotted the primroses in bloom really early for blooms - Blue flowers.

    It could be the variety or it's climate change.
    I've got some that haven't come up yet and they're different from the ones that have.

    Pac— Good news there.

    Loggie— All my daffs are different and I can plainly see that some are growing faster than others…but this december begin date is way earlier than most years here.
