What has everyone found in their garden just now? We have Fuchsias, a
Cestrum, Rhododendron, Hydrangea (new flowers, not just hanging on types)
Sarcococca, one lonely violet, Iris reticulata, Pulmonaria, mimosa just
about to burst forth, Chaenomeles, comfrey, Daphne bholua, Mahonias,
Nerines, and Lonicera (2 sorts)

Lonicera xylowhatsit, Hamamelis mollis, cyclamen (the not quite hardy
floristy sort), the orange small wallflower look-alike,
and then the usual winter ones - Viburnum bodnantense and tinus, winter
jasmine, winter flowering cherry, violas

Not a patch on yours, but not bad for cold yorkshire clay. And a lot of
early new shoots - daffodil flower buds, for example.
