Default First daffs of winter

Well it looks as if my aim to have daffs in flower for Xmas has made it.
Coming back from shopping late this afternoon I noticed that the first
daffs were already in flower.
For some reason I had missed then the last few days, something to do
with the weather.

No sign a week ago when I was down that way.
Will take better pics tomorrow weather permitting.

Hi Pam,
I believe they are "Rijnveld's Early Sensation" from Fentongollan
