Not sure about early, but here are the only two things flowering in the garden. The witch hazel has been flowering since Dec. and the snowdrops make a nice addition. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
My snowdrops are flowering at the moment too KIldale - slightly early but not much. I've noticed quite a few bushes in the garden are also producing leaf buds. It is early for them to be doing that here so I hope we don't get any more severe frosts.
