    After our rainy weekend (much appreciated) the sun is shining, the sky is blue and I could hear hundreds of bees on the almond tree from this distance ...

    Hi BM, all of them are outside, there are also two Chamy H Cerifera out there as well (the two small P. Roebelenii are in the utility room). No cold weather effects so far and they are obviously taking advantage of the mild days and nights. [​IMG]

    Beautiful plants everybody...I'm afraid I can't compete with those...The way my plot still is, I reckon I might be able to grow Coral though!! :rolleyes:
    All of my Snowdrops are showing now...this clump was under the Yucca that snapped,I hadn't noticed them before then.

    Paladin, your crocus are gorgeous - it's almost like they are glowing from within. I've looked a couple of times and see this every time.

    Our crocus seem to be getting less every year, only have a few left. Shall have to buy new ones for next year.

    Same goes for our Leucojum (just can't get a decent photo of them).

    I love Snowdrops, they look so delicate but are so hardy. Just like roders Aconites.

    Nice to see all your pics of spring springing, or is it too early to say that.

    Your palms do look good strongy, my washys have also been badly affected by that frosty week just before Christmas, but I think they are alive.
    Yours look untouched.
