First blooms of spring

Went for a walk in the park today and came across these delicate snow drops freshly abloom amidst sunny yellow crocuses.





This shrub below had just the yellow flowers and no leaves yet.

The pond was still partially frozen over thanks to the freezing temperature, but at least the days are getting longer now.

In the greenhouse was this pretty amaryllis Clivia Nobilis from South Africa.
