                  Also loads of other snowdrops and crocuses.
                  Anemone blanda is just starting under the trees. Correa reflexa and Fuchsia microphylla are also looking good but they are two of the plants I struggle to get good photographs of.

                      Anisodontea El Royo - has not been without flowers since I bought it in June 2015! Surprised it hasn't died of exhaustion.
                      Also all the usual suspects (cyclamen coum, lonicera purpusii, chimonanthus fragrans)
