Today, the first yet, might be the day she wrote about for me in this cold, cruel 2009 February. I'm going to forward the quote along to my walking friend from today. We marveled at wearing no gloves, no hat and a wind that at moments smelled warm when the it wasn't coming off the snow covered hills. Thanks for sharing this. <BR/>AnnAnn D.

Cooking and baking sound suitable activities for such a day :) It's not quite 'Springland' here but heading that way. <BR/><BR/>I usually did up my dahlias too Monica :) I don't know the ones you mention so I am going to look them up. I do like the names :)<BR/><BR/>Jan, hellebores are lovely but I would not particularly recommend Ebay as a good source. You are best seeing the plants when you can see them in flower at a good nursery or garden centre. I already have a few plants and am taking a bit of a gamble on these young plants :)<BR/><BR/>Hello Kaishon - the sooner the better indeed :)<BR/><BR/>Wendy - I hope that you don't have too long a wait for warmer days !<BR/><BR/>You are quite right ChrisC and JonJ but gardening makes you greedy - it would be great to be able to grow both cooler climate plants and the tropicals too :)<BR/><BR/>They are lovely little birds as you say Easygardener and fascinating to watch. I am going to have to divide the snowdrops this year, as I was going to do so about three years ago and never got round to <BR/>it :) I will just put labels to the side of the doubles clumps and then divide them in a few weeks.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-37402824883195324112009-02-24T20:41:00.000+00:002009-02-24T20:41:00.000+00:00I see you have Long Tailed Tits - lovely birds - a...I see you have Long Tailed Tits - lovely birds - always zipping around like pin pong balls.I think your idea of labelling the snowdrops is a good one - as soon as the flowers disappear I forget about dividing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-62113651499790793102009-02-24T12:37:00.000+00:002009-02-24T12:37:00.000+00:00We don't have crocuses or irises,here in Florida.M...We don't have crocuses or irises,here in Florida.My mother always had them(along with lilacs)in her garden in Western New York state.I miss their smell,but we have tropicals here,so I guess that evens things out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08302610545871593886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-91185586049436412332009-02-24T02:26:00.000+00:002009-02-24T02:26:00.000+00:00Personally I think it's the smell of dog poop in t...Personally I think it's the smell of dog poop in the air that signals spring.

Hmm, I suppose you were looking for a particular variety that you couldn't find elsewhere? I did read Syvia's post on Tulips In the Woods but don't remember if anything was mentioned about that. With that idea, however, I may try to do something similar! I have just ONE hellebore plant and am now drooling over them!<BR/>I love all of your spring flowers! I don't have any yet!!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-13728416377962988072009-02-22T20:18:00.000+00:002009-02-22T20:18:00.000+00:00I'm very excited to receive my dahlia tubers later...I'm very excited to receive my dahlia tubers later this spring from a local heirloom bulb company.
