Galanthus winter 2009/2010
« on: December 13, 2009, 10:23:06 PM »
Hopefully the forecast frosts will hold back the snowdrops for a while.

Autumn flowering snowdrops are finished in my garden and many winter flowerers are out already - Vic Horton, John Long, Vera Trum, Marjorie Brown, Haydn ....

Here's 'Yvonne Hay' and something, for now, I don't recognise -  it's Ding Dong

You have 'Yvonne Hay' out now Mark? I'm not seeing its shoots above ground yet!

I have three in flower in one part of the garden and in two other locations they are just about to come into flower although these are in a colder part of the garden that doesn't get much light at this time of the year.

Must have another look in the garden to see what's showing.

I've just checked and my Y. H. are about 2 inches out of the ground - a long way from flowering.

My YH are only just through, but I do have flowering Britten's Kite, Colossus, Elwesii var. monostictus, Mrs MacNamara, Three Ships, Rev Hailstone and Three Leaves. A covering of snow for north London and Hertfordshire today, and down to -4 here late last night. I think a cold spell acts as a cleanser for the garden - and justifies a rabbit stew with Worcester sauce.
