Oh, I think it's cause for excitement. I too watch for the early stirrings of spring. I'm still a few weeks out though. I dug up and moved around a bunch of them last year so I'm hopeful for this year.

I agree! Pieter if my zone were as warm as yours I would definitely be excited. If it gets too cold you can always protect it.

I hope mine don't start pipping for another couple of weeks. It seems as if they do, we always have a late freeze.

The groundhog said it: Early spring early hostas. I usually have one or 2 that want to get up early. Big Daddy is on the ready also.

I cleaned old foliage off my hellebore bed because I could see this peeking through
