Thank you for keeping the snowdrop pictures coming.

Thomas - it is interesting for me to see things flowering together in your garden that often flower weeks apart in my garden.

And so tasty!

I thought that the alkaloids in snowdrops & daffodils made them unpalatable to grazers. 
Evidently not, unless this must be learned or flowers are better than leaves.

So many good new greenish ones around now. Thank you John for showing them. I add two more photographs of good old Galanthus nivalis 'Greenish' for comparison. The first one was taken in shade, the second one in sun. 'Greenish' is always late here and still at its best.

We had a bit of snow and ice on Wednesday but the weather is to be too far above average for the next week with highs in the upper teens, cause for concern.

nivalis Viridipice
nivalis
Merlin? - a long-standing debate on this one
elwesii - named or find???
Green Brush
Leucojum aestivum Nancy Lindsay

A few common nivalis about.  The first shot is Magnet impostor not nivalis.

Speaking of greens, everyone is in green here today and not a sober one under the age of 25 to be found.
