This shot doesn't look much different to the earlier months...
But the detail has moved on! The snowdrops are still in bloom, but they've been joined by cowslips.
If you look really closely, you can see the first shoots of the dicentra appearing at the base of last year's stems.
Lots of crocuses opened up in the sunshine.
Beginnings of a hyacinth poking through
And these are the first shoots of one of the sedums breaking through. I've just cut back last year's stems, which I leave in place over the winter so that insects can shelter.
What signs of spring are there in your garden?

I love crocus! Looks much more like spring there than here. We have the last bits of snow still lingering in shady spots!
Lovely photos :) I love Bleeding Hearts :) One of my seedums has started growing but not the purple one. I've only got crocuses and a single snowdrop flowering at the moment and no sign of other flower buds yet.
My snowdrops and daffodils are lovely this year. My grape hyacinths will soon open and even my rose bushes are showing new growth. Sadly the weeds have started to grow as well. Warm weather is promised for next weekend, so I'm hoping to actually do some real gardening.
We are presently having a bit more snow, mixed with stuff like "freezing drizzle." Ick. So my front yard is still buried and nothing is blooming, budding, or looking green at all. I'm looking at last-minute Caribbean vacation websites!
It's so lovely seeing the garden come back to life, isn't it? I've been spending some time every morning, on my way to the car, watching the bulbs pop up out of the ground.
I'm anticipating a big vegetable seed planting session soon...
