The First Rumours of Spring in my garden!



Bluebells (wood hyacinths) popping up
These snowdrops have been in flower for several weeks.
Tiny yellow flowers on this shrub.
Please identify!!
Winter aconite in the leaf litter 
Arum italicum -- just leaves at the moment, but produce white or pale green flowers
and  luscious poisonous red seedhead








Hellebore hybrid from Ashwood -- this one is called "Dusky Grape"


This hellebore has been in bloom for several weeks


Dwarf nectarine in flower.  It was a birthday gift -- see the ribbon and card.

  1. That would be forsythia or yellow bells (down south)

  2. Yes, forsythia. My neighbor has one in bloom now, because it has been such a warm February. We normally see them bloom in March. (P.S.--I'm okiewife on twitter)

  3. If it is forsythia it is one I've never seen before. The flowers are difficult to see from the photograph, but look the wrong shape to me.
    Any chance of a close-up of the flowers?
