After a very snowy and frosty day yesterday, a quick wander
round the garden (more like a mud field in places) revealed
that as well as lying snow, the snowdrops are just about open -
flower buds full length white and beginning to burst. Despite
the weather, they seem to be much earlier here than usually
February is normally snowdrop time up here.
February is the normal time for my sniwdrops to bloom here in SE
England,
but they have already started over a week ago, while some are still
pushing
up through the soil. It's been one of those strange winters with ine of
my
shrubs (Escallonia laevis ) normally in flowering in midummer, in bloom
now. Never seen that happen before.
I don't know why but here I can't get early flowering snowdrops, mine
tend to flower after the crocus and after a lot of the daffs, April is
their month, I have spotted 2 very small shoots in a pot just breaking
the surface.
