The crocus in our garden are all flowering profusely at the moment. The wife
noted the first one on 31st December. Unusually, the snowdrops flowered a
couple of weeks after the crocus this year.

Snowdrops seem more fixed to a particular date than Daffs & crocuses,
which are more weather dependent. In west Cornwall the early daffodils
nearly always (except in the coldest winters) flower before
snowdrops.

Unusually, in fact I've never seen it before, there are a couple of
Cornish Palms (called Torbay Palms in England) in full flower in
Morrab Gardens Penzance. They normally come out May/June time.
