Winter Flowers

I've counted seven species of plant in flower in the garden, and that doen't count a crocus still in bud, but showing yellow petals. The snowdrops, usually the first of the bulbs to flower here, have not got beyond a profusion of leaves. I shall try not bore my readers with daily updates on that crocus, but don't be surprised if you read more about it in the next week or so. Numerous birds were twittering this morning, so I hope they won't destroy the crocus. They seem to be attracted to yellow ones.
