Lovely Aconites @Logan Mine are still sleeping ...

 

Thank you Michael. They are very pretty Logan.

 

Thank you @Michael Hewett they don't do very well but those are hanging on, yours will be up soon.

 

Thank you @Victoria yours looks very colourful and you always got something to show.

 

Thank you Logan. It is probably because I don't have frost and lots of sun.

 

That's right

 

Sat out in the sun late morning and took a few photos.

White cyclamen that has flowered since last October still flowering. A few snowdrops flowering and more in buds. It is the occasional little white flower that makes me happy when I see them, some mostly white miniature violas and especially some white violets that I planted a couple of months ago, two small flowers have so far appeared. Red rose hips and the dead flower stalks of last summer's Agastache that I left. Everything a bit sporadic, but each new white violet flower makes me happy when I see it. Lots of shoots of various bulbs, some with early buds, though apart from a handful of tiny snowdrops nothing flowering yet.

I think they are miniature daffodils in the picture, I had forgotten about them and a couple of weeks ago was tidying up the Feverfew leaves that were growing in the pot, when I noticed some bulb shoots, and the more I tidied the Feverfew, the more bulbs I kept finding, so eventually cut back the Feverfew in that pot completely, to display the daffodil bulbs better and give them a chance. The Feverfew will probably grow back in the summer and I have a lot of it anyway all over, and it also seeds itself a lot. I like its ferny foliage that seems to last all winter, so I tend to leave it and just tidy it up.
