We never had any winter to speak of and the crocus and snowdrops are out in the garden and all the bushes and trees have big buds. It is too early! But I am thankful to see that so far there are no real blossoms out ... I feel we might still get some frost in March, and that would kill them.
Only the other day did I see on TV that there are plants that blossom very early in the year and this seems to be one of them. So for some it is "normal" to be in bloom this early. Let's HOPE this is one of them (I don't REALLY now, and "digital_flower" comes round too seldom to ask, a pity... he would know).
