Happy New Year, Ruben - what good flowers to begin the year - lucky man!
You have better weather than us here in Aberdeen- very grey and rather wet here - hard to see any thing at all!

Happy New year to Maggi!!
Its the first day since 2 weeks with positive temperatures(day and night) and sun. We have had a cold period. The forecast is dry and about 5degrees for coming days.
I'm very happy with some colour in the garden  ;D

Two Scottish croconuts in heaven seeing these beauties!  The dark anthers dehiscing are so interesting - and I think perhaps they show that process better than golden ones?

I am trying very hard not to be jealous of all these beautiful Crocus  - not sure I am succeeding  :-X
What a bright and exciting start to the year is being shown by you lucky people with such early flowers!
