According to a poll conducted by the Chelsea Flower Show in 2006, the nation’s favourite flower is the rose. Runners up were the sweet pea and the iris. All lovely blooms, but I have to admit I’m more a springtime flower fan. There’s something especially encouraging about seeing snowdrops poking their heads above ground in February, and a carpet of cyclamen definitely lifts your spirits on a grey, end-of-winter day. During the last few days, when sunshine finally replaced weeks of rain here in Wales, celandines, daffodils, crocuses and primroses have joined the floral throng. Suddenly it feels like winter might be finally behind us, and these flowers are the heralds of spring, longer daylight hours and sunshine.
