This week the early spring bulbs popped their heads up and opened out in the fleeting sunshine between the storms.
The very very first flowers
Snowdrops.
I don't have many - these few delicate little lovelies were planted before this garden was in my care. I promise myself more every year and so far have forgotten to buy and plant more each autumn.
This year has been exceptionally wet (luckily here in my part of Isleworth we are up on a small hill - so no flooding) but also very mild. Only the lightest of frosts, so all the spring bulbs are flowering early.
And then
Early miniature Iris
These are one of my favorite early spring bulbs. They spread themselves a little further each year. Beautiful blue with yellow accents. Just lovely.

| This Iris has just opened out in the bright morning sun |

| Later in the day - a carpet of mini iris all just 3 inches tall (8cm) |
In a sunnier area of the garden
Crocus
These are very early, They are usually at least two weeks after the iris, but this year they are flowering at the same time. They do look lovely together!

Waving from the back by the shed
Golden daffodils in the last of todays days sun. I love daffs - beings a Welsh woman they remind me of home.
