My pleasure to help, Graham -  as the starter of the thread you could have clicked "modify"  your post and made the change yourself, I think.

Your 'drops are opening nicely- marvelous what some sunshine can do!

Ian,
a wonderful shot. Every year I'm amazed by the nature forces able to drive out all such beauties with a few sun rays and few +degrees.
Spring is the best time of the year leaving the dull days of winter behind us. :D
Best wishes
Armin

Armin you are right it doesn't seem to take long once  the spring bulbs start to move

A couple of things from here that say spring is almost here......
