Those bells are well ahead of the game. Having said that the ones in my garden have flower stalks with heads of unopened flowers. I'm forecasting about two weeks to blooms. :nod: :spring:

Thanks all. There was only this one patch, so it must be our balmy (or barmy!) micro climate lol

Open garden on Bank Holiday Monday was Oteley, Ellesmere - the gardens have opened for the NGS since 1927. Some beautiful specimen trees and the gardens run down to the mere. I think most note worthy were the Tulip trees, Judas tree and a lovely bed of mature fragrant Azalea.
I'm also going to sneak in a little treat from today which is a tiny and delicate native pansy that I'm sure gets totally overlooked
