It's hardly Ikebana, but it was fun to be able to go out into my garden on St Valentine's Day and pick both a red rose and a bunch of snowdrops. When I lived near Aberystwyth some years back, there was an annual discussion about whether we would get daffodils flowering locally in time for Gŵyl Dewi on March 1st or would have to import them from foreign climes like Pembrokeshire or even Cornwall. However, when I made a foray to the National Library two weeks ago, the gardens there had at least one clump of daffodils in full flower, so well advanced that they will probably be over before the day comes. Plenty more on the way, though.
