What's in Bloom

I see I hav e a clump of Galanthus in bloom, but I didn't try walking
through the mud to see it up close; I assume it's elwesii. G. elwesii
usually blooms only at the end of February.

I also heard frogs calling along the creek, and saw robins out in the
grass. The unseasonably mild weather is showing it's effects.
