I could only find one snowdrop in my garden last year (my first winter here) and forgot to plant more. I haven’t found any so far – I shall have to enjoy yours instead.
They do tend to proliferate. Keep looking…
Hooray! I’m off out tomorrow to what is sprouting here. Happy weekend with your snowdrops.
The first snowdrops never fail to raise a smile. Hope the sun’s shining in your part of the world.
I have some too. I am resisting the urge to do my normal very anal snowdrop count because I think there might be fewer of them this year and that would be sad!
I was thinking about your snowdrop count this morning, as I went into the garden. There are more of them every year here, I’m sure.
