The first primroses and anemones are flowering under the oak tree and the first early daffodils are just ready to bloom. All we need is a little more sunshine and then their buds will burst open.
In the meantime I spotted some Paper White Daffodils in the florists. These miniature daffodils are often forced for Christmas and they are also available in pure white but these were a lovely creamy pale yellow. Combined with blue hyacinths in a simple white jug they make a beautiful display with a lovely scent too. They may just last until I have daffodils of my own to pick.
