That did made me chuckle Arthur.
The snow has at last melted in my garden after (stubbornly sitting there for a week getting harder and harder)! I was expected the worst, with drops flat to the ground, covered in mud, and looking translucent.
However, once again, I have been pleasantly surprised at how resilient these little white flowers can be.
Some pics from my little patch of England.
1 - ABJF_11_1 something I spotted in one of Alan's secret areas last year that seems a good'un so far.
2 - 'Cider with Rosie' - a very kind gift from a friend.
3 - One of the reasons I didn't buy 'Sprite' yesterday at the RHS (besides the price and my empty wallet
). Something that we found when DavidQuinton, Brain Ellis, Myself and Richard Hobbs were wandering through a snowdrop woodland during 2009
4 - elwesii 'Wispy' - one of Phil Cornish's finds. Does very well here and always looks healthy - but one day is likely to be given away to make space for something more distinctive.
5 - 'E. A. Bowles' - a very kind gift from a friend.
6 - Another pic of Davey's foundling 'Kalum' - still hanging in there and still looking pretty.
7 - nivalis 'Mark Solomon' - a very kind gift from a friend - during the last few years it was a perfect poculiform - this year it is not quite so perfect.
8 - another poculiform nivalis - this time via the AGS sales table at a show. I am trialling various versions of nivalis and elwesii poculiforms to see which perform best in my garden.
9 - 'The Bride' - a very leafy elwesii poc that is almost past it for this year.
10 - 'Trymlet' flowers that have just dropped. I think these flowers always looks best after they are at least a week old - these have only just dropped.
