The daffodils have died down, and I've done some weeding, which revealed some more mystery plants coming up. I don't have a clue what they are, but we have them in both the front and back gardens. It looks like they're going to start blooming soon.
The garden is full of bloom. Camellias, magnolias, tulips, the last remaining daffodils, and lots of other things that I can't put any names to. The old apple tree is going to be in bloom soon, and so is Skry's little lime tree. I have no idea what lime flowers look like, but it'll be fun to find out!
UPDATE: My friend Linda identified the mystery plant. It is called Solomon's Seal. I looked it up on the internet, and was surprised to find that it is edible. Here is an excerpt from the Wild Vegetarian Cookbook, which mentions it.

Aw, it looks fantastic! What a change for you guys! Is it getting much warmer now? It's getting much colder here! :-P
Yeah it's getting a lot warmer now, but there's still a frost in the mroning's so planting seedlings is still a problem.
Still I'm happy to be able to plant at some stage this year and am kinda looking forward to the days when it's so hot that I'll be needing to water the plants regularly! For now a wee bit of frost in the morning is just the tail end of winter doing it's best to waste our time - the days are growing markedly warmer and it won't be long til we're needing the old SPF30 again :D
