    Holy smokes! I must admit, I'm more than just a little jealous of you and Droopy. I won't see anything poking out of the ground for months!

    Snowdrops certainly herald the first signs that spring is on its way don't they? I love to see them popping up in the garden. Now if only the snow would melt here I'd be able to see mine too. :rolleyes:

    Yay! You've got snowdrops, EJ, how lovely. :D I'm certain you'll get to post lots of lovelies for me to drool over while I wait for winter to end up here.

    Good to see your snowdrops EJ. Prompted me to go and have a look to see if mine are showing their faces yet....and yes, they are there at about the same stage as yours. Loads of other bulbs pushing through as well......roll on Spring :-D

    Ohhh....Ooooo!! I am absolutely purple with envy (I've gone beyond green) :smt090 We still have so much snow you can't see the ground let alone bulbs coming up!!

    Thank you for sharing, it gives me hope that Spring really will arrive eventually. :stew1:
