I had to be quick.

The sun was out on Friday, it didn't last long though. Like " Old Mother Hubberds Cuboard", my garden is mostly bare although I did find an early sign of Spring nestled among the weeds. They always like to be first!

There are carpets of violets, pink, mauve and purple. Sweet little faces and a nice perfume, great to put in a tiny vase.

I have a few helebores, they seem to multiply, great under a shady tree.

 

I own one cyclamen, bought a couple of weeks ago. It's a miniature one in a pot where I can see it from the kitchen.
