Look at these little beauties.

Aren't they appealing - I love these!

Snap Klahanie I have my first one in flower to ...

I admire your little beauties. I must venture outside to see if I've actually got even any leaves yet on my little clump.

Thank you all for your comments. It a pleasure to see first flowers of the new year. Come to May and there will be no sign of them and the same spot will be covered with wild violas.(until OH comes and moves it all down)
Unfortunately, there is a snow in the forecast for the end of the week here.

Such bright, beautiful little surprises!
