Bulbs, for a change

Jim Waddick asked: Before the dreary season hits, anyone have a ray of color
in

One little drop of gold here in the form of a Narcissus bulbocodium
flowering absurdly out of season. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it
from the bathroom window. Otherwise only the dregs of Crocus speciosus and
the last Colchicum agrippinum flowers. Two nights of sharp frost have
nobbled the Nerine undulata and the last Cyclamen hederifolium, but again
rather curiously there are two Cyclamen pseudibericum flowers open.
