More like January

A cold wind and heavy rain meant no gardening. It didn't get above 7C all day. But once spring is under way there's no stopping it. Only the beech is still showing no sign of breaking bud. In flower today:

white quince
forsythia
magnolia
daphne
amelanchia lamarkii (storming plant - everyone should have it)
viburnum tinus
pink and white camelia
blue and white anemone blanda
plumonaria 'Sissinghurst White'
a carmine pink azalea
clumps of erythronium (possibly my favourite)
red tulips
dicentra - pink and white
primroses
several narcissus
blackthorn
the damson tree.
