    My 1000 + snowdrops are opening all over the garden. Here is one patch that hasn't been too storm damaged.

    They are such cheerful little things, aren't they?
    I'm glad to see that the gales have spared them, Eileen.

    They are commonly called Snowdrops here in N.Carolina, too (Galanthus nivalis).

    They are so pretty Eileen - I hope more of them escaped the damage so we can all enjoy them.

    I have some up too, but I haven't for blooms since the monsoons have set in.

    We had them in Michigan and called them snowdrops. I have not had any since I've been here. Love to see them coming up what with all the horribleness you have gone thru. Hope they gave you a smile.

    Gorgeous Eileen, a taste that spring is in the air maybe?

    I keep trying to grow them in my garden, but I think it is constantly to wet. I will have to order some more in the green and plant them on gravel. The bluebells you sent me are all up and growing like mad. I love this time of year!

    Mine are not blooming yet.
    I so look forward to my bulbs blooming each year. The rabbits have been eating the greens of my Dutch iris. I'm bit annoyed at them.

    In a neighborhood I work a lady has a massive amount of snowdrops in a side garden. They are very delicate and bring cheer as people walk by this side of the house.

    Gorgeous Eileen.
    I have a handful, but 1000---that must make quite an impression.
