To someone from Saskatchewan, the idea that spring flowers start in January is very bizarre. Of course, here (in Victoria) there are some flowers that bloom all winter.
They're not the prairie crocus (Pasqua flowers) that emerge from the snow on the prairies, but spring crocuses are still a nice splash of color. Of course, neither the snowdrops or the spring crocuses are native like the prairie crocus.
There were two varieties of Witch Hazel with their unusual flowers.
These seeds (Stinking Iris?) reminded me of The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits book I've been reading. Their bright color caught my eye.
I liked this unusual fungus. I think it's Hairy Curtain Crust (who comes up with these names?)
