UK: Latest spring bloom at Kew in decades - Telegraph

...this year crocuses, which have been coming up on average on February 4 throughout the 2000s, and February 15 for the 1980s, arrived on February 18.

Snowdrops, which have been coming up this century in January did not come up until a day before the 1980s average on February 9.

Daffodils that were pushed back to January 27 in the 2000s were back to February 9 this year, and aconites were also late.

However Miss Bell said flowering patterns were still earlier compared to the cooler weather experienced before the 1980s.
