Thanks Gerard.

Probably my last snowdrop photo of 2012  :'( Can a bulb the size of a pea be twinscalled easily?

Mark - I've done smaller. Give it a go, just don't chop it into too many pieces.

I suppose it's the height of the snowdrop season here, but it's hard to tell; we've been buried by two heavy, wet snowfalls, now spring might be serious about returning this time. The snowdrops look surprisingly perky considering they've been buried by snow twice, in full bloom. I thought the woronowii foliage would be toast, as it was down to -12C last night, but only see a little damage at the tips of a few of the leaves. Now the snow all melted today and it's to be up to 17C tomorrow; talk about a weather rollercoaster. Here are a few snowies, a little bowed but still in bloom:

Looking very good Don despite the weather.  And nice woronowii, I must have the smallest flowered one in cultivation!

We've had everything imaginable weather-wise today but promised 14c on Thursday so maybe a few will be advanced enough to photograph.

John, I can tell you there is warmer air headed your way; I think this is finally spring!

Don - I will just be a blip here. Spring is a very slow process here with all the cold water surrounding us.  I will be very surprised if we make it to +14c on the coast.

I am still catching up on everyone's wonderful posts that I missed the full details of while I was on holiday in Madeira.  There are so many nice photographs and places I have never visited.  Thank you to everyone for taking the time to post your pictures and words.   8)

A few from my back yard today.

1 - 'Greenish'

2 - 'Streifen-Weh' (many thanks to a kind forumist  8) )

3 - 'Pusey Green Tips'.  I forgot this was there as it doesn't usually "grab me" - but in a garden bereft of flowers today I noticed it again.

John, just the man I need to look at my post number 43 on this thread, and tell me whether my spikey version of PGT is an immature phase, or the wrong cultivar. Please.
