I have some crocuses in flower, but so far no snowdrops.

Bernard,

I noticed next door's bright yellow crocuses were in flower this morning and
that's quite early by my reckoning.

Along the road from where I live is a place called Backhouse Park and it is
well known in and around these parts for the great swathes of crocuses that
herald the Spring. I've checked the dates on two photographs I've taken when
they are at their best, one last year and the other, the year before. Last
year's photograph was taken on 2 March and the year before was on 17 March.
It will be interesting to see whether the relatively mild winter has any
influence with regards to this year's display.

Regards... David Allan.

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.

I have no spring flowers whatsoever in my garden. Having said that it has
not been that mild in upland Devon thank goodness. Wind chill was near
freezing today on the walk above 400 metres with air temperatures around 7C.
