More early #flowers still tiny, few and scattered, but they will pick up speed quickly, with the next couple of days forecast in the 20C/70F range (then down, then up...lol)- even *some* nights above freezing! The first golden Crocus, first Pseudomuscari barely a few cm tall and first Scilla, which probably came as seed in the soil with the Arabis you see at its base (pale/pink rosettes).

A wide open deep yellow Crocus flower held barely above ground over several narrow grassy leaves, green with a white stripe in centre. The 6 tepals are somewhat narrow, fused at the base but spreading farther out. The background is mixed gravel and slightly larger small stones.
A tiny stem of Grape Hyacinth/ Pseudomuscari azureum just a couple of inches/handful of cm tall, or less, with two narrow folded leaves and a single stem with light blue buds with some darker edges, and one tiny partly open bell flower at the bottom of the cluster. The background is a blurred rough brownish stone on the left, soil and dry leaves to the other side
A Scilla siberica /Siberian Squill with several deep blue buds and a couple of open starry downward facing, lighter blue with a dark stripe on the back of each petal (?)it has several narrow longish green leaves and sits against a slightly squared darkish granite rock. On the ground, even lower than this tiny plant are a number of rosettes of Arabis with variegated to nearly all white leaves with purply centres. There are also dry straw-like old stems and gravel on the ground.
