I live in mid/ east England and haven't yet seen a daff in flower yet the buds are setting but no flowers. thought it would be interesting to see where they start and end on the forum, I always find it strange that my daffs are over but when we go to Scotland usually over Easter they are in their prime, its also a good indication of how different we are as regards the temperatures we garden in

Crocus still doing well, they were early this year. The Tete a tete clumps have a few blooms out already....a good 10 days early this year. Lots of buds on the rest of the miniatures. Full size daffs are very slow in their pots

I have a poor showing this year, I think I need to put some new ones in this autumn. I have a few tete-a-tete just starting to open, one or two tulips and a smattering of crocus. The alliums are just poking their noses above the soil.

Mine here in Co Durham are still in tight bud, just a few showing a hint of the yellow to come. I have been visiting relatives in Cambridgeshire this week and there are many daffodils in flower there. Some of the roundabouts have been planted with daffs and they were all in flower and looking spectacular.

Most of the early daffodils are flowering now, the later ones are in bud. Crocus, primroses, and anemone blanda have been flowering for about a week and a few tulips are almost out. Snowdrops still flowering and hyacinth well through the ground

I've got snowdrops finishing, as are Iris reticulata. Early Narcissi full out with later ones still to come, and early tulips out, plus anemone blanda, Muscari just starting, and crocuses all full out.

I've got odd early daffs out dotted around the garden but the larger ones aren't showing any signs yet, some are just coming up in the pots.

Up here in Aberdeenshire the snowdrops are flowering their socks off and the daffies are about 4/5 inches above ground now. You can see the buds but they are tightly closed at the moment.

The small Narcissi like Tete a Tete are flowering up here but the larger "typical" daffs are just in bud with a hint of yellow just starting to show.
