It is the first week of January and the first snowdrops are coming out. And I'm not embarrassed to tell once more just how much I love these little guys, the first harbingers of spring to peek up from the soil. Kneeling down in the cool, wet soil to get the best angle of their nodding petals might seem an odd delight, but for a plant deprived January gardener, it surely is one of the fastest ways to bliss...

Lovely! I like your photos too!
Lyckliga du som redan har snödroppar, här är de alltid rätt sena, fast kanske, kanske skulle det gå att hitta några och driva dem inne, det är ovanligt milt för årstiden. Grattis till artikeln, intressant! Apträd är rätt ovanliga här med de finaste jag har sett var på Christiansø utanför Bornholm i en gammal trädgård "kommendantens have". kram Sophia
Thanks for your recent comment on my blog. That very day I was admiring your snowdrops. I lived in WA for 3 years and I felt great nostalgia for those January flowers. Beautiful photos! I hope you and your plants are surviving the snow storm, that Callicarpa covered in ice is lovely!
