And so another week bring spring a little closer; I noticed these white crocuses today – a welcome sight, despite being still in tight bud, as you can see. Buds like this are, I think, both intrinsically beautiful and symbolic, like a promise of the new growing season to come.
I wondered if I would get a sight like this by this weekend! Despite Storm Doris, I found this first tiny tête-a-tête daffodil today, next to some open, but rather battered, white crocuses. This makes spring another stage nearer, surely?
This shot was taken just too late to be last Sunday’s picture. I’ve shown this flower on here before, but I don’t recall lungwort being in flower this early, as a rule. It seems that just a few hours of mild weather can make such a difference!
