Spring is on it's way!!

**HeyWayne** · 12-01-2010, 11:14 AM

We've had some greenage growing from various bulbs we've planted over the years (that the squirrels haven't devoured). Can't tell you what they are though.

Some Grape Hyacinth, some Snowdrops, some Daffs, some Narcissus and some Anemones.

That said, even when they've flowered I'd probably struggle to tell you what they are!

OK Wayne- esp for you...some plant ID!!!

here's a snowdrop...

and the others were daffs,crocus and grape hyacinth in that order

No new growth visible under the snow here, yet. But have you noticed how much lighter the evenings are getting already?

And I thought the last of the three was a blueberry.

My snowdrops are out. They are an early variety. Wish I knew which one.

Just found this and had to share, it made me feel like sticking my nose in and having a good old sniff.

I'm sure I could smell that Ginger!!!

As you know, my daft daffs have been out since Hallowe'en, as have my primroses. No sign of growth from the hellebores yet, or anything else.

My indoor amaryllis (I know, it's now hippeastrum) has started to sprout, and I've potted up some tulips for indoor cheer.

I have a white polyanthus in flower, and the daff bulbs are putting their leaves up. Nothing else yet though.

**nick the grief** · 14-01-2010, 11:03 PM

Well I put 6 extra fat balls out and what happened ... I had two blue tits look at prospective nest site that I put up in august

The rose video made me smile and just feel good, how weird is that. Loads of bulbs coming up in the garden, spring is round the corner yay

I just saw this mention of hellebores, which we love, and went out to my back garden (the bit that is designed by my mate, a professional hard landscaper, to be 2 degrees warmer than it should be in winter) to check. My 'white' (you know, greeny, yellowy, whitey) one is coming into flower, my steel blue one is looking ridiculously healthy and my pink one - well I can't remember where I put it. May look in the front garden tomorrow.

You see I don't have a veg garden, a flower garden, a fruit garden etc. I love growing hellebores next to the broad beans and the oregano. I may have other hellebores somewhere. I'll find them when they flower.

Some of my tulips are just starting to showing through the earth too

No sign of the millions of snowdrops yet.....
