Primroses are out in their usual early site near Staverton Bridge on our
way
to Totnes and today I picked some fully flowering mimosa. That, combined
with Sarcococca, is making this house smell like the Elysian Fields. ;-)
PS We've had about 24 snowflakes.

Well our primroses aren't near flowering yet but we have an iris species
flowering, looks good amongst the light snow covering, and still our summer
fuchsias are flowering (just) in their pots against the house.
Strange thing was at the same time as the snow was falling this evening
there was thunder and lightening, not experienced that before.

Our crocuses were about to open before they disappeared under the
snow.
