Jealous, I havent been in the garden for a few days because of the nasty weather. I know I have daffodils flowering but not sure about the other bulbs. Love your flowering quince, always wanted one, never think of buying it until this time of year!

Funny how we have plant associations. As soon as I saw your grape hyacinth I was back in my grandparents garden where they grew in a row down the driveway below the standard roses.
