Your garden is weeks ahead of mine Cherry, last month you had Forsythia in flower and now Euphorbia, neither of mine are showing signs of flowering.
My daffs are not out yet either and any primroses I had have been eaten by my feathered friends.
We had a lovely sunny day today so I’m sure something will come into flower soon. |

The answer lies in Northumberland soil. |

| I only know its name because I bought a tiny, unlabeled plant and it took me years to track down it’s name so now it’s stuck firmly in my brain. |

| Your daffs, and bulbs are way ahead of mine MG. Early spring is now hitting spring proper which means we should have lots in flower soon. |

Let's hope so Cherry
My flowers are very behind for this time of year Looking back through my photos I would say my garden is about 4 weeks behind. It still looks like early February out there |

| Nice to see some colour & life Cherry & M.G., the only colour I've got is from snowdrops, crocus, primroses, hellebores & a few violas. No sign of any daffs or irises yet. |

You've got Daffs out too. Two weeks a go I thought mine would be out any day soon, perhaps I'm just growing buds this year.
I've just looked up Ypsilandra, I'm going to have to keep my eye open for some of those. |

These are the Callistemon rigidus seedlings, they are in the greenhouse for now but not in a propagator so they seem to be coping with cold ok, said to be between half hardy - hardy

It's a gorgeous perfume isn't it? I noticed mine was wafting out when I was pruning my roses yesterday. |
