Anthony,

Your snowdrop photographs certainly illustrate the differences in our conditions. Such snowdrops are well over here. Lovely selection. 'Yvonne Hay' is certainly a good one.

It's quite simple Mark, your season is well ahead of ours, whilst you enjoy your first snowdrops we are still waiting for an appearance above ground :'(, when yours are finished we are still going strong ;D

You are helped by warm currents in the sea, we have to contend with the bitterly cold North Sea.

Photos appearing now because it was taken yesterday Mark. It has been out for a while, but virtually no snowdrops that are not called reginae-olgae flower in my garden in December.

Ian Christie, just off the phone, says the snow is just starting at Kirriemuir in Angus  :P

He is due in Aberdeen on Wednesday evening to give a workshop on propagation to the local SRGC Group ...... surely that won't be a snowy evening? :o
