Yann, I can feel the spring in your snowdrop pictures, the light does it.
Very nice hellebores .

[Yann]

It  is  frosty  here  in  Aberdeen today - and I expect there  will be  more  cold  weather to come  - but  for  us, a  frost  is  not  "late"  until June !

It,s dull and drizzly here. My camera, a bridge camera, does not like recording actual colours when the weather is dull. 40F in the garden. This is not unusual in our area for the time of year.



A tall species of snowdrop in the front lawn, I don,t know which species.



A short double flowered one.



Helleborus foetidus, must have arrived as a dropped seed.



The first saxifrage to flower.



Viburnum bodnantense "Dawn" still in flower.

[ian mcdonald]

Winter aconite.



Clematis cirrhosa, an early flowerer.

My garden does not contain such an abundance of plants that Maggi and Ian have. A song thrush has been singing for a few days so it must be spring.

[Maggi Young]

Lovely  clematis, Ian !

[ruweiss]

Very nice, i didn't yet see mines

Gardeners must be patient...

[Stefan B.]

Still winter but this year, it is warm winter...

[Gabriela]

It is very nice to see spring-like pictures from all! In case someone is missing the real winter though - here's the beginning of February in this part on Ontario, with a fresh round of heavy, clingy snow.
