About the normal time for us, maybe a week early.

Isn't it nice to see new life in the garden again? My hellebores and snowdrops are at the same stage as yours which (being north of the border) makes them about two weeks early.
Very nice. At first I thought I was looking at the pictures Jewell posted. You both must have similar growing conditions.
Very beautiful. I, now, will be planting tons of Snow Drops in my little hidden garden. that will be a wonderful thing to see before the border plants fill in. Thanks for the wonderful idea. I really love them and, of course, Hellebore.
There are Cyclamen hederifolium, Hellebore hybrids, Arum pictum, Eranthis hyemalis and even a Trillium in there too. All things which do not mind being in deep shade over the Summer.
You are my inspiration. Photos of your snow drop woods was my catalyst to pilfer abandoned snowdrops from a building site. Maybe in five to ten years my little orchard will have some large snowdrop clumps like yours That yellow hellebore is unusual and I love all the others also
