Snowdrops

[moonraker558]

Is it just my imagination or are there far more Snowdrops around this year and seem to be lasting longer. I can't remember seeing as many in previous years. Something to do with all this rain maybe.

I don't think they're lasting longer Moonie, just later coming out. At least ours were later. Aren't they pretty though?!

Over the past 2 or 3 yrs my snowdrops dwindled but this year the clumps that are left have really increased and are lasting well. They did appear at exactly the right time but the crocuses which were early have done well too.

None of ours are out yet,the crocus however are a different story I'm sure we didn't plant as many as we've got.

On Thursday, a friend and I went to a local beauty spot which has a snowdrop walk through the woods. It was magical.

Lovely Tilly, I really must go one year. I think snowdrops are magical, such delicate things yet they push their way through frozen ground and gravel. They were my mum's favourite flowers, her birthday was Jan 31st and they're always out by then.

I'd like to go to Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire. I believe that the snowdrops there are a wonderful sight.

Here's a link

Anglesey Abbey is in full flow with its snowdrops display. It will soon be followed with its daffodils and a bit later hyacinths.

Its in my favourites on my Satnav. Very busy so go midweek.

I have been saying that this year as well. Down here there are loads of them which I havent seen for years.

We love snow drops (My daffs are already out !) we do

my snowdrops have lasted ages,crocuses out,hyacinths out and bluebells ready to start flowering in about a weeks time,amazing.

I've got snowdrops under my apple tree this year, they haven't shown up for the last 4 or 5 so I don't know where they've come from.

[Nottm_George]

I live in Lincolnshire and I seem to see them wherever I travel.

I seem to recall reading that the appalling winter weather is responsible for the abundance of snowdrops this spring, we have them in places we've never had them before. A number of strange looking things are appearing in the garden, quite exciting really!
