Smashing sight Carolann - I spotted some in our front hedge - nothing like that though.
Have you got lambs already Geranium?

Look what I spotted yesterday not quite a flower but it shows Spring is on the way  Soooooo takes me back to my childhood when we lived out in the sticks and could roam free across the fields, you don't see them around here much at all now   for the memories it brought back for me |

and the one with 'eyes' that Dutchy has named 'James Bond' ;D  x Tig I looked all through my snowdrop book Tig and couldn't find a James Bond look-a-like. Are the leaves flat and facing each other or wrapped round each other? |

Well I haven't got a James Bond but look what I saw when I just had a sneak in the garden... The 1st....  and close by - these...  Not much, but I am so happy that there are signs of live. RF |

Lovely colours Snowy. I planted a few pots of tete-a-tete in the autumn specially to bring into the house round about now. This is the first pot.  |

Hurray, we've all got signs that spring is sprunging  Loads of crocus out here today, clumps of purple, yellow, lemon and white (even heard a bee buzzing past!)  Jasmine this is 'James Bonds' foliage - not strappish, but not curling round either   x Tig |

Is'nt it wonderful how much difference a little sunshine will make. All the spring flowers are just wonderful. I've no pics but I've got loads of snowdrops and some little yellow crocus out too along with the primroses.  |

I surprised myself Geranium when I got round to doing it ;D
I bought reduced tete-a-tete in M&S last year and thought then that it would be very easy to do it myself!

Yes they would LG - they were about 3" tall when they came in with the buds right down in the leaves. The warmth has really bought them on.
I've got 5 more pots outside and the leaves are very short.
I love daffs indoors now Geranium - it really cheers things up.

Jasmine this is 'James Bonds' foliage - not strappish, but not curling round either x Tig I dunno about James Bond - International Snowdrop of Mystery would be more appropriate - I can't find anything like it. It's green markings are so distinctive you'd think it would be easy to find out what it is. |
