There was an item on the TV news this lunchtime about daffodils in full bloom in Suffolk, has anybody else got daffodils out yet? Mine usually show their heads about now, but there is nothing yet so far this year

No Daffs, but there's a few pansies about.

No daffs, but my garden has a lot of shade and doesn't warm early. My only plant in full bloom is my zauschneria, which does well but I only bought to keep my zantedeschia company in the z department.
Some daffs do flower very early, such as February Gold. There is even a rhododendron called Christmas Cheer.

I had to mow a couple of days ago - the first time I've ever mowed in December. And wandering around the meadow yesterday, I noticed some little yellow flowers, must investigate what they are.

Fascinating, cherry blossom? Is that any good for restoring teak decks?

Picked my first asparagus for 2016 2 weeks ago.
Rhubarb on its way as well.

Winter aconites are about the first yellow flowers, I think, but I associate them with woodlands.

Our grass needs cutting, but it's too wet - Essex clay.

Don't think they're aconites, look rather like cowslips. Here a very poor phonecam shot, they're about 6cm high.

I cut mine to day, but that is Mersea clay

I too saw a cherry in bloom today. There are currently 15 daffs poking their heads above the ground in our garden.

Those leaves are definitely primrose, as is the colour yellow, but flower shape is not clear.

It looks like a primrose with rather long stems. Maybe it's in part shade and got a bit etiolated. Sometimes they hybridise with polyanthus, so you get funny shapes and colours.

My neighbours have a daffodil in full flower in their garden. It always seems to be very early.

I had all the grass removed as it needed watering to keep it going. The terrace that replaced it is a fine place for an evening G&T. Don't think daffodils would survive here.

No, but good for polishing boots.
