I have had no sighting. I HEARD the Chiffchaff (birders will tell you how hard they are to spot, let alone distinguish from willow warblers) and I have yet to see a Brimstone butterfly, one of the earliest to fly here. As for your "allergy season", whatever that is, do apprise us of your evidence for its early arrival. Hyacinths are stinky buggers and, if your magnolias are going over, then plant something different. My Magnolia stellata bushes are just about passing their peak now, but magnolias of other species are yet to reach full bloom. Attend more closely to detail is my advice.
