There are plenty of signs that Spring may finally be here, with fresh shoots bursting forth from the soil. There were a few flowers visible also, so I snapped a few shots while I could.
These grape hyacinths form a colourful edge to my poor neglected herb garden:
This primula is blooming nicely, not yet discovered by the slugs (which may still be in hibernation or at least in hiding):
I am too tired / lazy to look up the name of this flower at the moment, but I discovered this little surprise in my garden, the seed or bulb likely transported in the soil of another plant acquisition:
Many of the fruit trees, notably the cherries, are full of buds. But after last year's scare (when it stayed dormant for a long time after it was planted) I was very pleased to discover this single bud on our Frost Peach tree:
This morning we woke up to frost, and the nearby roofs were completely white. So it continues to be a very cool Spring. I hope to sneak into the garden more often, to enjoy what good weather we have.
spring is looking lovely, isn't it? I think your mystery flower might be a chionodoxa or glory of the snow. I planted a handful a few years ago. this year they appear to have multiplied exponentionally. they look quite good and their early blooms are much appreciated. scilla is another possibility.

Irena - Thanks, you're right about the Chionodoxa (Glory of the Snow). I found it in a gardening book the other day, jotted the name down, but then was too lazy to go find my notes. The two blooms look so sweet, I imagine a patch of them would be very eye-catching. All the best to you and your garden this year!
