I discovered this poor thing longing for sunlight when I removed the corrugated iron sheets covering the benches.

Thank you Ashley. Just nice at this time of year to be getting some colour going outside isn't it? :)
The Crocus is I think 'Prins Claus' and the Iris 'Pauline'. I dont really use labels in the garden and I'm afraid memories of what got planted where fade!

Very nice Ron shows what you can do with a dryer garden.

Just the Primula moupinensis, the Felis catus f. obesus is too large to be able to fit in the benches... (Rather unfortunate actually, when looking at the havoc created by my resident mice - why is it they always go for the rarest and most expensive plants? :-X )

Wow Franz.... amazing !

I found Ranunculus calandrinoides survived the deepfreeze temperatures very well in the garden !  It's starting to open !  :D

Not even a sign of a bud on mine yet, Luc (but thankfully they have survived the winter).  :D

Thank you all together for the kind comments.
For me it was a surprise too, that Ranunculus calandrinoides survives -18 ° C

Even though we have had some fine days, the Eranthis have not opened so wide as those in Franz's paradise

As to whether the Ranunculus is going to flower here at all... well, who knows  :-\
 Strange weather, for sure.

As I have boken my r arm above the elbow and am ofcourse r handed I found it a bit tricky using the camera but even harder to name and reduce them. May have to post in 2 batches because I am so slow. Anyway here goes.

Shelagh, great left handed pictures. Sorry to hear about your arm, hope it's keeping Brian busy and hence out of mischief! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Typing this right handed as I'm left handed and have broken my left index finger so I understand your frustration....what a pair we are!
