All springflowers are good covered with snow and we can think to bring back the Skier and to make a ski - tour!

The Newspaper "Torgauer Allgemeine" from 20.3.2018 with the following article:

[Leena]

Those are so beautiful views in your parks. Here bulbs are not planted in parks, only in flower beds. Maybe they are considered too difficult because then lawn can't be mown early. In botanical gardens of Turku and Helsinki they have bulbs in lawn, but no snowdrops or eranthis, mostly scillas, but they set a good example.
