My Helebores were coming into flower and the frost has got them. Bulbs all coming up. Wisteria was full of leaf buds but I think the frost may have got those as well. The Acanthus is in leaf and looking very healthy though.

Snowdrops just coming up here in Bedfordshire. Great to see them.
And, amazingly, there is a stick of rhubarb (not forced) on the way too.

Snowdrops out in the local churchyard (Oxon)

Oh , Witzend do you live in the South? I LOVE Mimosa, but haven't risked planting it here in Yorkshire...

Down on south coast last week, daffodils were out in the park. At home my Daphne are in flower, just love the fragrance wafting up the garden which is covered in ice!

Between Christmas and New Year I visited a National Trust property in the south west region and their snowdrops were well and truly out.

It's lovely to see the start of spring in the gardens

Daff bulbs coming up in pots, just by about three inches but a sign of Spring 😃

I have Daffodil bulbs coming up but nothing else.

Some of mine came up before Christmas.
Unheard of for me.

How lovely to hear of any colour in the garden. Nothing here yet in North Cheshire.

No way! We're all sitting here for the supposedly biggest snowfall in 30 years or something!

Near here there is a whole row of about 8 mature mimosa trees. One is already fully out, several more are well on the way. 🌼🙂
