Lesser celendine
Dog violets
White dead nettle
primroses (which never really stopped flowering all year)
cuckoo flower

garden wallflowers and grape hyacinths

lords and ladies ( cuckoo pint) in full leaf

so looking from my window...spring is definately here.
True. It's all happening but about a fortnight behind the same events as last year- which were about a month early! So we're about a fortnight fast...if you see what I mean! Confused?
