Spring has sprung deffo. The camellias had to jump the gun and are a bit frost burnt. But there is a slight tinge of colour showing on the tulip trees now we have had 5 or 6 days of sunshine. Should be followed closely by the ceanothus of which the white ones are winning.

I have never seen so many potential flower buds on the judas tree which looks a bit strange at the moment as I decorated it with the white fluffy dog hair after we had to shear the littleun to stop her coat from matting. The birds are having a field day grabbing beakfulls for their nests.

I just hope the fruit trees can hold back, just in case of another cold snap.

Nice pictures. Unfortunately Spring seems to have gone on a bit of a slow burner here just recently.

It's been warming up in Birmingham over the last few days. I haven't been to the plot for ten days thanks to my back, but things should hopefully be growing by now! the snowdrops were out  all over the place a couple of weeks ago, and crocuses are flowering in the grass outside.
