    My daffs opened their little sunny faces round about 5th January :wub2:

    I assume they are some sort of early flowering daff but they were planted by the previous owners so have no idea what. If I take some pics maybe someone could identify them for me?

    Anyone else got any yet?

          Not here (yet).

          Would seem that this garden has no resident bulbs so I'm waiting on the ones I planted in Autumn. Looking promising though :blue thumb:

                      As well as the daffs I've now got snowdrops and crocuses out. Soon to be joined by the first Anemone blanda. All at least 4 weeks early

                          All my daffs are in my lawn and just showing, but there are some in a more sheltered spot that have buds on so it won't be long, even though they are the same type. :)

                            There's been flower buds on a few of my daffs in my north facing garden for about a week. But not a sign of them (leaves/buds) out on my exposed plot where I grow them for cut flowers.
