Mine is a long way from being in leaf. Could this be a lovely old photo?!

Good grief Julia, that’s amazing. Apologies for my cheek.

That's pretty. Ours is just showing signs of returning to life.

It's like mine, Julia, my one has been quick to open whilst the others...very slow this spring.

It's a lovely one isn't it Julia, a really pretty shape and to see the leaves beginning to unfurl, well spring is here somewhere!

Julia, the early growth on this is spectacular! Mine is only just showing signs of leaf buds, but has been out all Winter in a sheltered position.

I definitely agree with you!
