More Signs of Spring..

Mum’s February garden already has many little flowers blooming.  The snowdrops - single and double - have been out for more than a month now.

The winter honeysuckle - as befits its name - has been blooming all winter.  The tiny flowers on bare twigs are very fragrant.

A patch of tiny violets, somewhat nibbled by the deer, is also smelling lovely.

And attracting the attention of honey bees..

These dwarf daffodils are nearly out..

The crocus are lovely.

A shower of rain had decorated the petals of the primroses..

I was surprised to see the Ceanothus in flower.

Mum also has beds of hellebores which are doing well but tricky to photograph with their hanging heads. More of those another day.
