...Hello all and thank you for your lovely comments!<br /><br />Helen - yes I've been watching the shoots on the roses - stretching by the day :D<br /><br />Nigel - glad to see you're not slacking on the job :D It could well be hazel (we have both alder and hazel in abundance here) but I plumped for alder since they were twice as long as the hazel catkins and the tree didn't look like a hazel (no straight stems). However I am rubbish at identifying trees without their leaves unless they're silver birches or oak trees, so I could easily be wrong. How do you tell an alder catkin from a hazel one then?<br /><br />Su - I never realised double snowdrops naturalised until I came here: I thought they needed a lot of cosseting but they seem to do very well without a gardener, thank you :D<br /><br />Hanni - thank you, and beginning a garden from scratch is every bit as nice, in a different way, as inheriting one ;D <br /><br />Plantaliscious - yes I was pretty amazed myself. They're up on the hill at the back of the garden and I looked out one day and thought, what's that yellow up there? Went out for a closer look and - well. The earliest daffs I've ever had, that's for sure.<br /><br />As a postscript: was out in the garden today doing the February clear-up and we've got primroses as well, buried under the rampant undergrowth which is why I didn't see them yesterday. All my favourite plants at the same time! Can't believe my luck!The Constant Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219672153177538912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-32594272473276414922011-02-16T10:46:18.838+00:002011-02-16T10:46:18.838+00:00A daff!

I lost my pelargoniums due to cold and botrytis, so it was good to live vicariously and enjoy yours instead. The snowdrops are amazing, how wonderful to inherit a goodly colony.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-66030798658038497152011-02-15T18:40:42.895+00:002011-02-15T18:40:42.895+00:00Mmmm mmm!

Odd that the pelargoniums are going mad - mine are too, but I've got horrible whitefly.<br /><br />Your 'alder' looks more like hazel, to me, but pics can be misleading.<br /><br />Envious of your daffodil.
