Interesting that you have Galanthus nivalis flowering now. Just about the only snowdrop shoots I have visible in the garden are 'Finchale Abbey', and they have less than 1 cm showing.

Interesting it is flipping miraculous as I have been trying for years to get an early form that will survive in our garden.

Rather a messy background, but Galanthus reginae-olgae, formerly corcyrensis flowering now.  It usually flowers from November till February.

Not sure about that "nicest" even though I'll concede "most popular" dog on the Forum. ::) I happen to know another very nice dog even though he'll rarely stay still long enough for pictures. Maybe at some stage we'd better have a competition for our respective dogs.
For me Lily is sure to be the nicest. At least she is the forumists' only dog we had a pleasure to get acquainted with personally and being taken aback by her immaculately spotless manners we keep her image in heart

Oleg, since my Teddy is the perfect gentleman, he would step back and let Lily go first anyway, so the Southerners will concede. :D

Oleg, do not worry.... Susan's dog Heather is only a killer of vermin.... which is her job!! Though she does act like she would  kill any other animal if she could!!

 Look at that sweet little face....... ::)

I didn't see the dog but it seems to be doing her job well. Fortunately we haven't had such problems with animals like hares and rabits so far digging and eating everything around. Just annoying magpies taking out plant lables. Is it the only way out to have them cought by nice dogs?
