About 24 years ago, when my wife and I first bought a flat in Abbey Wood, the woods near the old ruined abbey would fill up with tiny wild daffs in early April... Not sure if it is evidence of global warming, but we went for a walk in the woods this afternoon and in the first weeks of February the daffs are out...



There were also lots of Crocuses in the gardens around the ruins...





Not sure what these are, but they looked quite pretty...

I really like your third daffodil shot, Bob. The other flowers are crocuses, surely? As you say, all rather early.

Thank you - I should have cut down on DoF to isolate the background though - a lot of the other pics I took had backgrounds that were too distracting. I might have done that too, if I had seen your excellent daffodil pictures first.

I wondered if the violet ones might be crocuses too, but wasn't sure enough! I think the crocuses are planted as part of management of the gardens, but the tiny daffs are totally wild (these woods fill up with them in spring - it can be quite spectacular), so I was surprised to see them out so early.
