At last the sun came out and allowed me to take a few pictures in the garden.

1 Cyclamen coum on the rock garden.
2 Crocus tomassinianus and already a fly is about and searching for food here. there was also a hover fly but not on this clump.
3 Corydalis Harkov growing in the humus bed.
4 Leucojum vernum
5 Daphne bholua Jacqueline Postill. I wish you could smell the perfume from it, itis fantastic.

Two tulips in the front garden.  The first is 'lost label' but I think Thomas may know it.  The second (third pic) is Tulipa edulis which does well in the garden here.

John,
a beautiful scenery. Like your fat clump of Leucojum.
Many stems with double flowers!
Would be happy to get it grown like yours in my garden.

Tony,
your "lost label". Could it be T.biflora?

John, stunning pictures. Do you open your garden under the NGS scheme?

Wow your woodland glade looks stunning.

I'm jealous of all those aconites as they struggle in my garden, and don't increase
