Sorry, Polly, meant to bring it over, but I decided to keep it.

Blooming on the GWI property: hyacinths, hellebores (see earlier post), tulip turkestanica, tulip humulis, violets, daffodils, snowdrops, and scilla. And it looks like the rhododendron will finally perform.

Here’s the public daffodil planting I most admire (around a rare urban windmill):
