The crocuses are quietly finishing in the front, as are the snowdrops, although there is still one at least in bud. The front hyacinth is gradually emerging but not yet in bud. The (presumed) lungwort is coming up all spotty and the mystery finger-leaf plant continues to flourish. By the hostas there is something else I haven't yet identified. The hostas, too, are coming up just fine. No sign of the lily of the valley, yet. The second of the white-edged leaf shrubs may well have bought the farm. The allium is sending up shoots in slightly grass-like tufts.
On the side, the first of the fritillaries is really open (and lovely) and the hyacith keep going. The grape hyacinth are doing just fine but the main act at the moment is the daffs. There are a few bunches open and a few more opening. They're fantastic. Soon to follow will be the tulips, which are now almost all showing buds. The thing that might not be a delphinium next to the hyacinths has lost all of its leaves, so it might not be a plant much longer. The bulb iris are growing leaves but not flower stalks yet.
