    I have Hellebores in bud and daffodils and crocus a few inches out of the ground. However, everything is now getting covered in snow so it doesn't really look like spring at the moment.

    Looks like you have had a mild winter like here. I don't think anything is blooming but now I guess I had better take a walkabout the garden tomorrow. Some lovelies for sure.

    Thanks for the spring freshness Palustris. It's so good to see it filter through now!

    Thanks for sharing a taste of spring Palustris! The double hellebore is gorgeous!

    The Hellebore labelled H. tibetana is now more likely to be H. purpurascens according to the experts.
    There are a lot more Hellebores to come, they are very early though.

    So nice to see!
    I have some daffodils that are about 6 inches tall. I'm afraid they will get frozen before they bloom. But we have been experiencing a mild winter so far.

    Got pictures somewhere of things flowering in the snow. It does not seem to bother any of them.

    Very pretty flowers and so appreciated as I look out and see mostly white. I've got at least at least 2 more months before there will be any color in my garden.

    Beautiful spring flowers Palustris! I guess that Gulf Stream really does its thing.

    Thanks for the pictures and the hope of spring. I was surprised this morning when I saw daffodils 2 inches out of the ground. I hope it's a good sign. It was 11* degrees here when I got up.
