My 1st bloom coming......

Isn't it exciting when the first one appears Milky , it's a lovely purple one ....:o)

well done lovely

Excellent. Can you remember when they've flowered other years - March does seem late :-(

dawn i thought that even for the north west they are abit late.

I know Carol, we're always weeks behind everyone else here and I thought it was always sunny in Essex! I know Maureen has said they've had it bad this year though.

About right for here, though! :-)

There looking good Milky..:o))

So everyone thinks mine are late too. I thought they were.....I was getting really worried because everyone has been posting pics for a long while and mine were still nothing,,,,,,,but they are coming now Lol

But Maureen, I thought it was always hot and sunny 'down south' x

You are having a laugh Dawn. The problem here is the fact that we have had so much freezing rain, and everything is st saturation point. Got a freezing East wind as well today.....

These will be out in a day or so and the colour of them promises to be gorgeous - i like :-)))

Dawn, 'down south' and to the west is milder than down south and to the east
;-)

I didnt realise that Louise :-)

Oh i could bore you witless with all this useless information, Dawn ;-)))

I can report its still grim "up north" & all mine are still hibernating,-

Im uncertain if things just happen slower here due to everything being a bit quicker down south or if our plants maybe are just a little bit more wiser! lol

That is a lovely collection you have there Maureeen. I was looking at last March pictures and there is so much in flower, I do think most plants are about 4 weeks behind with the bad winter!

so exciting...spring is almost here!

Your right Pansy.....Looks like we are going to have a slow start this year.

So they are late, that means you will see them longer than the others lol wonderful colour

True Sixpence "Better late than never".....

a lovely sight for winter sore eyes :)

I agree Limpet

How are they progressing Milky??

Those are definitely "eye candy." Beautiful, and if they are late, certainly worth the wait! Can't wait to see them all in full bloom.

Hi Mushy and Hmhb They are still not fully open.......Still hiding from this freezing wind we have here.......
