Hmm, we look over to low rounded hills that now have windmills! I did think of putting up hoardings with a mountain photo but the wind would only blow it over.

Franz, Hans, I love to see these Adonis... perfect plants, as if designed by an artist and full of good cheer. I wish you well with your sunshine and spring flowers!

More Snowdrops !  A rare sunny day saw us at Dawyck Botanical Gardens near Peebles for the first look round of the year.  Although nowhere near the number of Snowdrops at Fullarton woods, the setting is more picturesque.  We were presented with the little label with the Snowdrop festival logo - see below.
It was also nice to see the fat buds on the Rhododendrons and healthy looking foliage.  This bodes well for Spring.

Looks like you had a nice bright day like ours for your jaunt, today, Tom.
 If  I had a burn running through my policies, I'd love a pretty bridge like that..... and all adorned with some strapping looking snowdrops.

Tecophilaea cyanocrocus - planted two years ago, flowering for the first time today, on my daughter's 11th birthday. I'm happy  :)

The spring is very early this year. Already a lot in flower in the garden. Tomorrow I will have the big spring watering in the greenhouse.

Once again a pic of Ranunculus cadmicus ssp. cyprius. I hope these pics show the beauty of this cute little anemonelike species better than my first one.
