As yesterday was such a beautiful day, I thought I would go out and check on the snowdrops. There was sunshine and a lovely blue sky (something we haven't seen too much of this dull and grey winter).
Definite progress made now, but still not open flowers.
I think they were all from my Mum's garden. They are quite tall with large flowers, but I don't know the variety.
Nearly open...just a bit more sunshine needed, I think.
Again, I'm not sure which variety this is. I did have some galanthus elwesii, but that has thicker leaves than this one. As I have said many times before, snowdrops are one of my favourite plants. Their delicate and elegant form belies their toughness.
They are so pretty aren't they!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy. Yes they are and to me, a sign that winter is loosening its grip just a bit (although with snow forecast for the end of the week, it is reminding us it is still here).

I love Snowdrops, I really should plant some, a lovely reminder that Spring isn't too far away xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheryl. I love them too, as you can probably tell! You can never have too many...
