Hyacinth flowered first and were perfectly formed and lovely in the middle of winter!
Irises were next, but literally sprinted into bloom the week after we had the snow (very unusual for Wgtn). I cut them and took them to Mum, and then another lot sprouted (diff bulbs obviously). I have two left - 1 purple and 1 yellow.
Crocuses have been flowering for about 10 days, but I dont want to cut them just yet!! They smell glorious and I want to be able to sit on the deck this weekend and take their scent in.
I think I failed on the Ranunculus ..... only just starting to get flower heads emerging but around the neighborhood they are in full bloom!
OK ....of to see what Mrs Google says at semaphoring .....
