Can't cope with you folks! Although almost all my snowdrops are up they don't open in the dull and rainy weather. Even when the rain stops for a few minutes the level of light is too low for the flowers - and for my camera too!

Also the crocuses and other spring flowers suffer and stretch for the light which isn't there!
Seems nobo bother about the snowflakes but I show a picture nevertheless.
Sorry no cultivar names.

Ruslan, amazing finds again  , so many differences in Plicatus. Great to see !!

But you have spring already.
Here we have still snow and the ground is frozen, this is still an unusually mild winter here, last year at this time it was much colder and there was much more snow.
This is my poor 'Mrs Macnamara', photo taken today. All other snowdrops I have planted beside it are still under snow ('Wendy's Gold, 'Ray Cobb', 'Straffan' and unnamed G.plicatus), but I know they are ok, because I saw their noses in the beginning of January before the snow and cold came.

Now that is a pretty picture.   Must have been warmer than here- we've had a good sunny day but the 'drops were not opening at all. 
You'll be hoping for a quiet week after your hectic weekend, Richard.

Yes Maggi it has been very warm today, everything open.

Just got back from logging (didn't get stuck Chris  not the most relaxing weekend but I've enjoyed it, and catching up with forumists & it's always nice to see people enjoying the gardens.
