Just the ordinary ones.
It always cheers me up to see them coming, they usually flower here in Leics
near the end of January.
I have some beautiful doubles that I got from Germany, they seem to be
always later, no sign of them yet.
Winter weather in Germany is so dire, you'd think they appreciate the UK
weather and be up first ;-)

Somewhat surprised to see some daffodils by the road on the outskirts of
Yeovil on Thursday.

Some of our snowdrops were up over an inch before Christmas. When I
looked yesterday, you could just begin to see the white on the buds.
They are as far as I recall about 4/5 weeks early for us.
I also noticed that a summer flowering clematis is shooting already!

We have such a mix of snowdrops here that we have no idea which they
are and they pop up at all sorts of times but they're definitely early
this year. And yes, Clematis Perle d'Azur is making strong new shoots
at the moment, too.

Tina, good to see you back, how is the arm? My snowdrops, courtesy of
Sacha, are dormant.
