Indeed. I really cannot see the benefit of having daffodils out in February
or
even January in some places as the days are short and there is less time to
enjoy them if you are at work all day.

If you like a grey bleak colourless January landscape that's fine! I
think its the time of year you most need some colour.


Ah yes but what a contrast when Spring arrives in April!

Winter is not always bleak and grey on Dartmoor it can be very beautiful with
brown heather, dead bracken etc contrasting with white snow or frost. Even
without the snow when the sun is out the moors show various shades of yellow,
green and brown. Then what a joy when Spring arrives and the flowers come out
and the grass turns green and the gorse begins to flower. Guess beauty is in the
eye of the beholder.

Cheers,

Will.
