I just realised non of my Castlegar in the garden came up this year

Mark

No sign of my Castlegar until ten days ago; then one nose appeared and flowered within three days, and then the rest of the clump of five appeared and threatened to open flowers just before the snow hit here six days ago. Don't give up on them yet.

Two pictues of Little Nell taken mid-December 2008.
I hope these are a bit bigger. I have used e-mail size 600x 450 instead of blog size. When I tried custom size it wouldn't give me anything bigger than 100x100??

Re: Prices in the North Green catalogue. £35 min. for Remember Remember!!! I think I bouught it from them for about £10 - 15 a few years ago. I thought inflation was supposed to be negative at the moment!

Michael, Photoshop or similar will allow you to have a better range of photo size but what you have now posted is great

Two open today - Fieldgate Prelude and Three Ships (not playing by the rules). I guess the latter may fully open in tomorrow sunshine so I will forgive.

+6c and cloudy here today.

Fraid so.

Why Mark, you know 'Three Ships' should come sailing in on Christmas Day in the morning!

Sun tomorrow so I will re-shoot.

Any time from late November is good enough for Three Ships. I thought you meant it was late

Sun tomorrow so I will re-shoot.

Good luck with the sun!
t00lie in NZ said it was a fine day there ( where it is Christmas Day) but that showers were threatened so the evening BBQ might suffer.... here in Aberdeen it is raining steadily......so much for my prediction that we had enough snow to keep the ground white for reindeer hoofprints to show tonight 
On the other hand, if all the snow does melt, I'll be able to see how the snowdrop flowers have coped with the weight of snow that has been squishing them for the last while...

snowdrops lifted their heads here around 4pm but they are flat again
