It doesn't take much to bring a smile to my face, and it is amazing what a little bit of sunshine does for the early doers too. Here are my lovelies this morning - please share yours      and just to shock you out of your complacency .. ;D  x Tig |

I love the big Dutch Crocus with baby Daffs Tig, the big ones tend to disappeared in my garden for some reason though, strange the little early ones do fine. Here's whats happening with my Spring stuff today.  Think it's time I cut that Penstamon back, at the very front you can just see the Allium coming through.   I like these little pale yellow ones, not bad from the pound shop.   It's nice to see the Daffs budding finally i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif Jillyx |

Your daffs are way ahead of mine Jilly - I reckon another week for them to get to that stage! I have some of the small narcissus close to flowering, but all the tall ones are less than four inches out of the ground yet! Can't wait to see everyones pretties |

Talking of spring flowers. Is it true then that there's no point in me keeping my Iris Reticulata as they won't ever bloom again??  |

Mine do? I thought when Carol said that perhaps I am just lucky with them, but mine have all double up this year  x Tig |

I'll hold onto them then Tig. I was planning on planting all my spring bulbs which I have in pots into a new spring bed for next year.

My Mum has got some in an old sink LG & they flower most years. I think from what I've read is that a bit like some Tulips, after flowering the bulbs tend to divide themselves then the next year you get more little ones that are too small to flower & then they bulk up again. If that makes sense i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/undecided.gif I did take some pics of Mum's garden today but the batteries on the camera need recharging so I can't get them loaded up until tommorow.

Oops. Got carried away then - forgot to post todays new arrival - covered in frost this morning but by lunch time ... ta da x Tig What's this one, tig? It's very nice. It has a kind of iris look to it but I'm sure I'm way off the mark. Well; not even iris, really; but kind of iris-ish. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/cheesy.gif |
