snowdrops

Having found my first snowdrops of the year in the churchyard at Fareham, I also discovered these a few days later in our friend's garden. I love them.
So envious --nothing like this appearing in my garden yet --I am sure I will be waiting a month or so -- and my pigeon seems to be trampling on one bunch that are trying to break through the soil !!SUPER capture Hazel

I think it must look lovely in your room! I still have my poinsettia from Christmas 2012, although it's still green (because I was too lazy to try to get it red again) but the one I bought this year just died and I have put it out.

So pretty, nice to see them flowering at the right time of year! Last year they flowered in April!!

You've really captured their delicate quality. I love seeing the first signs of growth. Snowdrops & crocuses are my favorite flowers... oh, and tulips, but they come later. It will be a long while before we see flowers as this has been an especially wild winter. Thank you for the preview.
