Early for Us

My first Lesser Celandine for the year. Earliest I've seen it - up to now the earliest has been the 26 February. Very little in the way of frost this year which may have helped its progress. It is always this particular plant that appear first. It is in an area that is not too wet and a little bit more sheltered (although it was being battered in the wind today) than others so it must have the right conditions. 
My first garden crocus of the year however was a week later than the earliest I've seen.
