what's in flower (and shouldnt be!)

Had to dead head a camellia for a client near Criccieth this morning,all the flowers had opened about three weeks ago and the snowdrops have also past their best.Its one of the earliest gardens i've seen.Lovely and warm there this morning,I was in my shirt and rolled up sleeves.I'm only 4 miles away in land but my camellia is just showing a bit of colour in the buds and my snowdrops are just peeking out.

one flower on the periwinkle and a rhododendron which has been flowering since New year
