March the first, does that mean spring is here? I would like to think so but I am a very annoying optimist. Spring is the season of firsts. This is our first tulip.

What cheerful colour. Haven’t seen a single tulip flower here yet this year – whether red or not.
It is a very early one, the rest of ours are just thinking about putting on leaves. Lots of loveliness to come (finger’s crossed).
Not even one narcissus out yet, let alone tulips. My ‘St. Keverne’ narcissus are supposed to be in the Spring show in 3 weeks but are barely out of the ground!
It is all a bit slow this year. Most of our daffs aren’t out and our camellias seem to have been frozen in time! Good luck for the show, let me know how you get on.
Our daffs are still in bud here, whereas our tete-a-tete(?!) bulbs in Lee were in flower in January. What a difference a couple of hundred miles makes to the climate.
How exotic you are up north!Done here in south west France we just have a vast carpet of shepherd’s purse and stinking helebore .Though both are rather lovely
