Cool !! My snowdrops haven't emerged yet but they are usually slow to pop up here. End of March is when they come up in my garden every year. I wonder why?

 

[Tetters]

I've put the snowdrops in a little pot on a tall shelf so that they are viewed from below. It's a shame with all those ''nodding'' flowers that you can't see them easily. They have a lovely scent.
That Lord Awful told people on YouTube that he gave me a cabbage and a rolling pin. I may have to go in there and tell them what I did with those ........ it took a lot of effort to make the cabbage disappear, but the rolling pin was a help.

OK @NigelJ you seem to have a really good variety of snowdrops - are you after the title ''National Galanthus Collection ? Mmmm?

 

[NigelJ]

are you after the title ''National Galanthus Collection

@Tetters I'm about 1% of the way there and time and money are against me.

Tempting then to take your trusty mini trowel out n about to do a bit of pruning - quickly while they're in the green

@Logan , I love your hellebores !! If I could only grow those !! They don't thrive here because I have such dry shade.

It's Anemone blanda - there should be a lot more than that, but they are a bit slow showing up this year.

Hellebores are perfect shade plants! Better there than in the sun - no problems!!

I love blue flowers but the light this far north doesn't do them justice. Fiery colours, reds, oranges and yellows are better.

I think that blue flower scared the digits in my camera

Thanks @Anniekay hellebores have grown in the cracks of my patio, the one summer they didn't do very well it was so dry but they survived.
