In the driveway the Mahonia is flowering well too, I am very pleased that it has settled in well now.
The Cornus officinalis is also flowering, well, making a welcome sight as I leave the house in the mornings in the increasing lighter hours.
In the front garden the Quince Hedge is covered in flowers, I am yet to see a bee though this year. The cold weather is not encouraging them out just yet.
The lavender edging just looks awful. I need to dig it out. As I am thinking this I am being watched by the latest addition to the family, the rather lovely Trev.
The Hellebores are flowering well around the edges of the Spring Border.
and the first daffodils are starting to open.
The Dancing Lawn is taking on its spring finery of crocii and the daffodils are pushing their way skywards.
This patch of snowdrops rests by the side of the eating apple tree.
and I delight in the amount of snowdrops that are now bunching around the Wild Garden. I have two hundred more on order to help increase them.
The Iford Cherry has lots of buds developing.
As does the Magnolia Leonard Messel, this has to be one of my favorite favourite shrubs in the garden.
Talking of favorite shrubs, the Edgeworthia is getting through the winter so far (please let it get through this week, I shall be devastated to lose it now!). The scent from the flowers is just divine.
The Fernery has been a corner of green all through the winter, this is a delight.
and the sky is blue of blues.
I end as ever on the pond, which is cold and currently frozen. There is no sign of frogspawn just yet but I expect there should be some soon.My thanks go to Helen for hosting this meme.
