Default Sceptical about December Daffs

My daffs are 4 inches high but not showing colour yet (Rijnveld's Early
Sensation, one of the earliest\). I spotted a Winter aconite about to open
in the garden today and celandine virtually open. Snowdrops are showing
white buds

They've started picking daffs on the the farms behind Penzance this week,
which is early, normally it's nearer the 3rd week in January. Mind you, I've
yet to see one properly in flower.

They were picking Sols on Scilly in late October! The question is were they
the 2004 ones late, or the 2005 ones early!

Still waiting for the first air frost.
