The snowdrops are out (as you can see) as usual at this time of year, and we have some crocuses, but the Daffies usually wait until march or april. These two are obviously confused...

You're ahead of us - lots of snowdrops:

We're just back from visiting a local garden that was carpeted with snowdrops. There were a few daffodils beginning to open but it was the tea tree in bloom that caught my eye.

So, they're expecting an early tea harvest this year. Perhaps around the beginning of April?

Earlier still, you could have had a cuppa today, they were selling drinks in the kitchen. The garden was open as part of the NGS.
