Although it still feels like winter at our house the spring bulbs are beginning to bloom.

Narcissus 'Avalanche'

Not just a pretty face --this is fragrant, tough, forms nice clumps, needs no summer water, and comes back for years and years. My bulbs were from Bill Welch in Carmel Valley aka Bill the Bulb Baron. If you live in N Calif. it is worth a trip to his fields at this time of year. When I visited 2 years ago they had a u-pick your own bouquet $5 for 20 blooms. Check out http://www.billthebulbbaron.com for directions.
