Apart from the first hamamelis (and that one is a month to late, too) I don’t find a single flower here.

3 Karen { 01.30.10 at 7:44 am }: Yay for spring! Hellebores, I need more. Maybe I can remember that semi-rhyme next time I’m at the nursery. Glad your snowdrops have arrived!
4 Judith { 01.30.10 at 8:28 am }: Just lovely. I liked walking around the garden looking for signs of spring also. Thanks for sharing.
5 Lillebeth { 01.30.10 at 9:03 am }: So, you have Galathus! You have spring! Lucky you! For me/us at least three months to go! Have a nice week!
6 VP { 01.30.10 at 12:55 pm }: I just love snowdrops – they give hope when winter’s doing its worst
7 Titania { 01.30.10 at 8:33 pm }: Hi Denise, such a pleasure when the first blooms show their delicate faces. Have you got usually an early spring end of January?
8 Katarina (Roses and stuff) { 01.31.10 at 8:08 am }: Lucky you! I must admit I’m emvious – nothing but snow here…
Thanks for sharing a hope for Spring!

It would make winter seem so much shorter and better. I have a cyclamen indoors and it thrills me, I can’t imagine having them sprouting up in my garden. Thanks for the spirit lifter.
10 Sweet Bay { 01.31.10 at 9:58 pm }: I don’t have any of these flowers in my garden, and your pictures make me wish I did! They look lovely.
11 The Curious Cat { 02.02.10 at 3:43 pm }: I’ve been missing these signs…city life does that to you…I will now make a point of looking for them. It is encouraging isn’t it? Brings hope… xxx
