Often wondered are antirrhinums planted to get rid of rhenium in your garden? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhenium

Just checked my daffodil bulbs and they are in bud.

I also planted some crocus bulbs a few weeks ago and they are already up.

It's great to see so many plants still in flower especially on grey days :-D :-D :-D

I have been on farmland quite a lot recently, and the number of wild flowers in bloom is amazing. Today, amongst some self set oilseed rape, there are some "weeds" growing with attractive white flowers. They smell beautiful, but no-one seems to know what they are.

I've got a couple of blueberry bushes that are in bud and one of the buds has just opened into flower. They are very confused plants :-S

Some spring bulbs are showing shoots about 8 inches tall here in the far south.

Plants are confused.
I picked and enjoyed eating blackberries on my way home at lunchtime. New blackberry flower buds are ready to burst into bloom.
Violet flowers are already showing
