    Wow. This is northern California right now? You've got Provence beat.

    You can't mean that; you are having a laugh, aren't you? Beats my sad little snowdrops into a cocked hat.

    OK, California girl, you don't have to rub it in. Any potential flowers here in my part of NJ are under nearly a foot of snow...and two feet of snow farther south.

    Stop showing off! *VBWG, LOL and all that!*

    The flowers are gorgeous, by the way.

    Deborah, the Mimosas are later than usual this year though and you will have nightingales in Provence, in May, which are not to be found here at all.

    Friko, I loved your snowdrop pictures. They brought back memories of an English childhood.

    @eloh, No camelias? In The South?

    Jean, The one thing you really have us beaten on is bugs. We hardly get any...ever... (I am now ducking and running for cover) BTW the iris are from guerrilla gardening and have been moved, separated, potted and now planted in their third home.

    Our camelias were burned by the unusually cold weather. I have a really large red and a row of eight delicate pink.... all burned by the sustained freezing temps.

    Waiting for the jonquils....

    Hey! What season are you in up there? I'm in a flannel nightgown right now in Long Beach but I had to wear a hat in the cinema, in addition to my coat, to keep my teeth from chattering.

    Beautiful flowers, naturally!

    If only. Mind you we've got a few snowdrops in the garden... so it's not too far off.

    We are still waiting for the grass to grow here... there's no sign of Spring here until at least the end of April, lol!

    Wow! My iris haven't even thought of peeking out yet. What a lucky girl you are! I love the red one, BTW...

    We are still in wet-dog season, I promise and now I've got a returned foster dog so I have two of them again. Blog-time or Dog-time? See you all around.

    As camp as it may seem, even an ogre like masel can appreciate the real beauty of nature.

    So it'll be Jimmy Ogre from now on?
    I'd love to read your description of yo'rsel as seen through your mind's eye.
    BTW did you know that iris are quite perfumed? There are lots of flowers that I have been surprised to discover are fragrant en masse. Wallflowers and alyssum are quite bold in numbers. (More info than you needed?)

    Oops. Returned foster dog? Not one of those lovely collies?

    Deborah, Yes. Boomer's new home failed him due to their health problems. Not his fault but I had to take him back quite suddenly. Searching once again for a match. At least my ankle healed whilst he was gone. I'm back on the walking plan with a beautiful collie for company. He wakes up a little earlier every day!It was full dark when we went out this morning.
