I've had primroses in bloom since November! Got me first
snowdrop yesterday, and the crocuseseses should be with me next week
at the latest. :~)

Wild in the hedgerows, really?! Snowdrops are coming out apace and so are
crocus but the primroses are usually a bit more shy than that.

No - the wild 'native' primroses (purple/violet) are still
hibernating, but the ones I raised specifically for winter pots and
tubs (white, pink and yellow) are in full bloom.

Daffodils are out in next-door's garden. Snowdrops and crocuses are
out in mine.

I've had the odd flower on my primroses ( the wild one) all through the
winter (S. Lincs) in some spots, looking as if they're struggling
valiantly - but definitely there!

Mine were purchased as vulgaris many moons ago and the offspring (with
no other primulas in the vicinity ) though somewhat bedraggled, have
nevertheless been in flower for some weeks.

Snowdrops and crocus and iris reticulata out at the moment here in the
more northern part of Lincolnshire.
