I have decided to open a new topic for the " Northern Hemisphere " !

Outside it is very cold here in Austria, but under glass spring is coming. So here are the first flowers of different families.....

Crocus baytopiorum
Crocus flavus ssp. flavus
Colchicum kesselringii
Ophrys sitiaca
Corydalis ledebouriana Usbekistan

Love the Bellevalia and the Neobakeria Miriam, the latter is a species I hadn't heard of so shall do some research later. Arisarum to me are very much an acquired taste and I just haven't acquired it yet ;D

Having already seen my first 'grass verge' clump of Daffs of the season (about a fortnight ago, and didn't have my camera with me!) today I saw my first clump of the season of 'grass verge' wild primroses (Primula vulgaris) and I didn't have my camera with me again. Spring is on it's way-it is isn't it?

I have also seen Primula vulgaris and Hazel lamb's tails and willow catkins. We call the latter pussy willow but dont know why.

Thanks David and Mark.

David, Arisarum is not my "first choice" too...it grows wild in my garden and in the area.

Mark, I use Olympus C5050Z. Here are some photos of drops with reflections, taken with this camera:
