First snow are awaited, so before the 3m snowfall cover the plants  ;D i'm taking a walk in the garden.

Finally 0 mm of snow, forecast crews are liars  ;D

No, just a little miscalculation. I got it here - 3mm ;)  and it melted during the day.

Thanks, David.

This is a new model. Let's hope I can replicate and duplicate it next year.

Are you saying this is the original plant and it has not increased or been propagated from, Diane? I will treat my 2 plants with more respect now if that is the case.

Yes.  I guess seeds could have been dropping, and I'm not sure about origin of the white one.  The relevant page in my garden maps book has disappeared.

Today I felt spring has arrived at last! Although not more than 8C it was nice sun and just a gentle breeze.

It's been fairly Spring-like here today, makes a nice change.

It really looks like spring there Trond! Seems that southern Ontario is also in a warming trend. Corydalis solida are showing up, also first Helleborus and one of my favourite sign of spring - in the image. I won't say what it is; let's have it as a riddle  ;D (hint the violet colour will persist only until the leaves start unfolding; yellow flowers).
Sorry, i don't know what happened with the first image.

I thought perhaps Scopolia? Though mine are not so brightly colored.

Can't speak for Cornish camellias as we haven't been over the bridge for the past few weeks but it seems to me that some Devon camellias are barely getting going yet.

Sorry, I should have mentioned it's in my garden.

Yes Leena! It is the yellow flowered S. carniolica var. brevifolia. I grow it mainly for this spring 'violet' appearance, although it has many other qualities, the most important being its super-hardiness  :)

I would never guess Scopolia. My plants are always green even in early spring.
Have to take a look tomorrow!

Interesting, Gabriela.  It's quite a different colour than my "regular" Scopolia carniolica (not emerged yet), which is dark greenish-purple:
