Mild weather has coaxed out some very early buds along with a handful of intrepid creatures. Welcome back! Thank you, readers, if you can identify these brave plants.

The very rare giant “Purplefly”.
Reddish buds.
Plywoodasaurus Rex.
Actual flowers, yet. Pink ones, at that.
I’ve seen camellias in full flower, cherrie blossoms,sparse but in bloom, and of course hellebores blooming
Not entirely unusual. Plenty of varieties bloom in “late winter” as opposed to spring. Look for crocus and primroses in 2-3 weeks as well. Certainly welcome!
