I'm sure there's more.
Saint Davids day in Wales and not a single daff n sight.
Normally the traffic roundabouts are full of planted ones and the graveyards and parks and private gardens too.
Wild ones are normally in great abundance along the sides of roads etc but .... not seen a single one.
What happened?
Less snow drops than usual this year too.

Unfriendly people, MP's,
Not sure where you are in Wales Jack, but I am in West Wales and there are plenty of daffs out here and snowdrops & crocus and the grass is still growing, too wet to cut though:)

None around here, but in my garden, they are close. I think that the wind and the ground temperature has stayed very low. My bluebells have just started sprouting!

We've got lots in Devon, and lots of snowdrops - don't daffs usually come after the snowdrops?

Would you people have some consideration for the less fortunate!? Here in southern Ontario there is still deep snow and huge snow banks by every driveway. Any daffodils I might see are buried under drifts of snow. We have had a record breaking cold February and I think our chances of bare ground, let alone flowers by the first day of spring are slim.

No daffs here yet - the snow's only just gone. A few snowdrops and a wonderful display of yellow eranthis in the garden. Primroses are out too.

No daffs out yet, though the dwarf narcissii around our pond are going to flower soon.

Lots of crocuses out and there's a carpet of aconites round our apple tree, which always make an early appearance. The hellebores are starting to flower as well, though they won't really come into their own for a couple of weeks yet. There's almost always something going on in our garden - we usually have roses still flowering in November, by which time the snowdrops are making an appearance as is the ornamental cherry blossom. I've always thought that this is faintly bizarre, because most ornamental cherries around here will be coming into their own this month and next. Either we've got a very early flowering species or it's been touched by the noodly appendage of the Flying Spaghetti Monster :D

I love the spring.

Thank you very much but I'm an English man lining in Wales.

I was married to a Welshman once upon a distant time. Very Welsh. Never lived there though. I was always made to feel an outcast by his family. "Why couldn't you find a nice Welsh girl" his mother once said to him, in Welsh, right in front of me. His sister translated for me. I could never forgive her for that.

There is still in this day and age a lot of anti English feeling around... even after the English building all those pretty castles for them.
