On my daily visit to the compost bins, I passed Mary's mini-wood (approx. 2 metres by 2 metres) and spotted the first garden daffodil of the year today (27th Feb). This is two weeks later than 2024, possibly down to a very cold January this year.

The snowdrops are still in full bloom along with the crocuses ...

We've had daffodils in the house, of course, but these were forced and shop-bought. This lone flowering daffodil is the first to flower naturally in our garden this year (2025).
March is the time to visit and enjoy the wild daffodils of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. The villages of Dymock (8th/9th March 2025) and Kempley (15th/16th March 2025) both host Daffodil Weekends. I may do a report on this year's display in March.
