Been complaining about a very late spring, but forget we've got it lucky
compared to others whose spring routinely comes considerably later.
Some of the crocuses in sunny spots are finished, but where it's more shaded they're just beginning to bloom.
Today:
First species tulips:
Lots of Chionodoxa 'Giant Pink':
Am going through our small garden removing the stray Chionodoxa forbesii (luciliae) (the blue one) and Puschkinia libanotica
which still coming after years of digging them out.
I just dug half a dozen Puschkinia, which must have come from us, out of the neighbour's lawn.
I knew about Scilla siberica, so it never got planted in our garden.
Just noted that Chionodoxa forbesii is in the Invasive Species Compendium (of the CABI, an international body that promotes world agriculture).
It's also officially classified as an invasive species in Germany.
