A few more of my small bulbs are providing a little colour and encouragement during these very short days,
Hope they brighten your day

Outside and inside same bulbs

This Colchicum is minute no larger that a ten pence piece when fully open

A number of Snowdrops are starting to open inside, and outside ones that normally flower late December will be in flower in a couple of weeks if it stay this mild.


Many more bulbs are pushing up through the ground many at least a month early
Enjoy.

I will never tire of seeing these little treasures, their colours are so springlike and definitely cheer up the short, dull days at this time of year.

They are all beautiful and lovely to see at this time of the year , I've noticed tips of daffodil pushing through also the Spanish bluebells are a good few inches tall , what amazes me most is the second new flowers coming along especially roses and Clematis ,I expect a frost will see them off ! the Penstemons haven't stopped flowering at all ...

You just can't beat a snowdrop for lifting the spirits, takes you back to childhood when we all looked to be the one to find the first in flower.

They are really lovely Brian. The first photo is my favourite. I don't have any bulbs pushing up except my Iris danfordiae which are in pots in the greenhouse. The amount of rain we've had, I'll be amazed if they're not all rotten!

They're really lovely and early too.
It's made me think, I'll have no early bulbs to look out on this coming spring.The house we are moving to has a virtually empty garden.....but, I'll soon change that!

Wonderful sight to see on a dreary November day.

Yes, Steragram, but I think what with the move and my Father Christmas bookings, I won't get round to it.I can't see me getting to shops or garden centres!
Although, thinking about it...some of the pots I'm taking with me have crocus bulbs and one has Hyacinths, I think!

How lovely to see on what is a very mild but dull, damp day, thankyou Brian, it does lift the spirits to see them......

Ooh, are you Father Christmas Paul? will you be coming to Wales at all? I only hasve little socks to hang up!

They are beautiful Brian. I just love the Colchicum.

Yes, Steragram....been working today in a grotto and last weekend but then in December, I will start my corporate bookings and sometimes I do weddings as wel!! it's a great job!

Lovely pictures, Brian. Lots of bulbs are pushing up really early, and other things are flowering late. It's been a really topsy-turvy Autumn. Very interesting, though!
