Flowering with me at the moment - despite the lousy weather...

1) Primula marginata 'Drake's Blue'
2) Acer japonica - unfolding
3) Erythronium dens canis 'Pink perfection'
4) Scilla bifolia

Luc, if you have an offset to spare later in the year and would like a swap I'm your man ;D

Lovely stuff, all of them.

I get an overwhelming urge to towel dry that pulsatilla bud and give it a drink of warm milk  :D

On a walk  with Lily this mornig I have seen the first Pulsatilla vulgaris flowers in a nearby garden. They were looking pretty cold and wet , too. :(

I have been re-potting and tidying up the asarums. Asarum forbesii is in flower but it was a surprise when re-potting an Asarum splendens out of a six inch pot. The new stolons coiled around the bottom of the pot were 95cms long

I love the way the A. forbesii buds look like little pumpkins!

I take it you have given that A. splendens a bigger pot, then Tony?

No I broke them all of and potted them separately to make extra plants,why I do not know!

I am going to try some in the garden. They will perhaps draw the slugs away from more choice things.

It is a miracle with sunshine, isn't it?  So few days from the snow to this colour!   8)

It has been bitterly cold here to-day with a strong NW wind and with a frost forecast for tonight I thought I should snatch a photo of Magnolia campbellii 'Charles Raffil' before the flowers are turned to mush.Last year we had a -7degrees earlier than this and the buds were reduced to mush before we saw any colour so this year is a bonus even if we lose them tonight.

Scillas covering every inch of bear earth in the Winter border that flanks the bulb meadow and Pachyphragma macrophyllus taking over from aconites crocus and snowdrops.

Super Magnolia pictures John!
I may be cold with you, but of Pachyphragma I just see buds. No flowers yet.
Next week temps should rise above 10 C. at last.
I think this year we had till now just 2 days a bit over 10 C.
