the snow has melted round this patch of Cyclamen coum, but Crocus imperati, eranthis hyemalis and Galanthus elwesii are just poking through.

Giles, I love your Daphnes in the greenhouse it must smell amazing in there and what a stunning view across the countryside  :D

The Daphne with green flowers is interesting - is it all looks or scent as well?

I don't think any of the green ones smell, Robin.
I've got laureola, pontica, albowiana,arisanensis and none of them smell.
Some clones of laureola are said to be fragrant, but I think they need to be fed with rocking horse manure......
