With crocuses and daffodils it depends which species/subspecies or
variety they are as different ones flower at different times but are
still dependent on ?temp or possibly sunlight, as opposed to daylight,
because I have some "January Gold" daffs which have never flowered
earlier than the end of February and some crocuses (can't remember
which) which always flower around mid-January but are in pots which
manage to catch a bit of sun.

My neighbour's snowdrops and aconites are in flower late January/early
February.




Are you sure they're not 'February Gold'? Never heard of the January Gold.


You're most likely right - I always mix up the January/February
Silver/Gold, then the more I think about it the more muddled I become.
