First Tulip, first Alpine.

Another garden shot, as by the time I was thinking about taking the camera for a walk, it was starting to get quite hazy and that ruled out a number of options. So here's one I prepared earlier as they say on TV. First Tulip into bloom despite the close attention of slugs, and a little Alpine has started to flower. The Hyacinth bulbs I bought at the Exeter Christmas market are also doing well.
