        There are plenty more to come yet! But as yellow crocuses seem to be the first to flower the others will begin in another week I expect.

                  I discovered a few more Crocuses open on the balcony railing this afternoon - they are a pale yellow whereas the others, that have been open for the last week, are a dark orange with black stripes on the outside. In the 2nd photo one of them can be seen!

                    @Logan Those Crocuses look very nice! I haven't got any other colour but yellow at present but in a couple of weeks I expect to see a bowl of purple striped white Crocuses start to flower. Today they are just poking their noses through the compost.

                      @Balc thank you, yours look nice as well. I do have a lot of the yellow ones as well and some purple ones that are later.

                          I noticed a cherry tree down our road starting to blossom today. I will try and get a picture soon.
                          Picture below is the same tree in blossom back in NOVEMBER!! during that unseasonal warm spell.
