First snowdrops

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Hi all,

spottet the first snowdrops,

(Europe, mild, ca. 7b)

we haven`t had much of a winter yet, perhaps 4 nights of light frost so that`s one reason why those Galanthus are starting so early.

Found them in the neighbourhood when walking by, in small front yards of old houses.

those concrete liners are modern though,

Happy holidays or merry christmass,

bye, Lin

More of my awful out of focus pix. These have been flowering since Christmas in a local park.

These have opened up in the bit of sun we’ve had the last couple of days. Different park.

Not bulbs but still ....

And a rather nice white Vinca in the same park as the snowdrops.

You beat me to it. There’s a patch near me which I start looking for just after Christmas.

This surprised me... a few days to melt off the snow and ice and this guy pops up! I'm always amazed that plants will still grow in frozen soil, covered in snow and ice. If the temperature goes back into the single digits I'll cover this one for a little protection but I guess winter won't last forever!

Oh nice! What is the name? If not really rare, I could use a few near my walk to cheer up the winter. I'm sure I can find some online.

My snowdrops are not due for another month or so.

I know I should be scolded for liking the primrose bedding, but I do!

Nice to see so much green and flowers in. Maybe spring will come after all. Posie the real early one for me is 'Three Ships'. In warmer climes it flowers about a month earlier, right around Christmas.

The polyanthus aren’t really my cup of tea either. But in a formal section of the park and in January I’m not going to be snooty about a bit if kitsch colour.

Wow, so lovely to see plants coming to life. I always enjoy seeing pics of snowdrops at your parks, Floral_uk.
