OK It's not cacti or succulents, but I couldn't resist this sure sign that Spring is on it's way. Taken this morning on the way to the greenhouse to do a bit more repotting before it's time for the first watering. Incidentally it was 15[sup]o[/sup]C in the greenhouse with the vents open!

Re: Signs of Spring
Looks a lot like my garden, only I'm still mostly yellow with blue just coming through
My new (old!) greenhouse has been getting a lot warmer than 15C, closer to 30C, but it is nearly empty and I imagine it lacks thermal mass. It cools down again very fast once the sun departs!

Re: Signs of Spring
Lovely pic, David.
We had our first crocus flower this morning. So far it remains untrampled by the pigeons.

Hi Julie
You can see evidence of pigeon trampling in my picture if you look carefully on the left! The tree the crocuses are under is one I hang feeders on.

Re: Signs of Spring
Aaah yes!
Same for us... crocuses under the feeding station. We usually like the pigeons clearing up what the doves kick out. Our lawn has more cotyledons than blades.
