Snowdrops

 Good morning,

It is such a pleasure to go out every morning and see what is newly blooming in the garden at this time of the year.

These little snowdrops have been blooming near our pond every year since I planted them more than 20 years ago.  The plan was to have flowers covering the stake in the ground holding the electrical outlet for the pond.  I used to have daffodils and tulips there, too, but all that are left are the snowdrops.  I'll have to find something else to plant there this year.

Happy Spring!

Lois

Snowdrops. They are just magical. So glad you planted them! Another very long-lived bulb is the little purple ones, Grape Hyacinths, and a long-lived first-to-bloom flower is Creeping Phlox. But you undoubtedly know more than I do about these northern flowers! I just remember these from when I lived in the East for two years.
