These are from our front garden picked 15th January, would you believe it, still January!!
Quite a few years ago, when I was still working as a teacher, I always wore a daffodil on March 1st, St David's Day.
The one year none of the shops in Billericay had any, and none in my garden either, not even a leaf. So I wore a silk one.
The following year, round about the middle of February I dug up a daffodil bulb, that had just a crown of leaves breaking through the soil.
I balanced it on a slim jam jar with water in it, so that just the roots were in the water and kept it in the kitchen in the warm.
I had a sort of bloom by March, although I had to forcibly open the bud, but I did have a daffodil and of course that year every supermarket in town had bunches galore!!
What flowers have you flowering early, snowdrops?
