hello maggi, sure i like small plants like snowdrops! :D and my allotment garden is quite small too... ;)

don't worry, it's only a single metasequoia, i would love to see burning in some fire-place. hagen knows, which one i'm talking about... 8) ;D

greetings from berlin - where all drops are still covered with tons of snow!

Well, maybe one tree in a fire is fine when there is so much snow around, eh?!!  ;)

It seems a lifetime away that I lived in your fine city......I wonder if I will ever return there?

I don't live there but I like it very much and zwerggarten has definitely some good arguments for a trip to Berlin. ;)

I'll expect everyone to rush to a Gloucestershire garden centre for this new snowdrop!  Sorry about the quality - taken on a mobile.  I didn't have the heart to tell the girl on the till because she was nice to my dog and gave her a doggie biscuit.

That's quite a difficult one to pronounce.   ;D

It would sort of work if it was a silent 'G'?   ;)

Galanthus Glwesii? Sounds to have been named after a Lord of the Rings character ::)

Seems it might be a Welsh selection.

Gloucestershire is near Wales, isn't it? Welsh would make it "Glooweeseeeye"! ???

The second photographs is very nice, Ashley.

"Ordinary" you call them and they are so ordinary because they grow with ease for us. Good garden plants.

Thanks all.  It's an Acer griseum Gail, a tree I love especially in winter for its bark.

Griseum, my favourite tree  :) was given a small one many years ago in broken clay pot, little more than a stick, is now a fine specimen.

few more, cold & wet today but a little warmer, hoping things will be looking nice for weekend.

a very large plant from Bill Baker, most years gets to almost 12" high.
nivalis taken a few days ago.
house & folly with nivalis & flore pleno.
folly.
