View Full Version : snow drops
see first snow drops this morning...any one else seen any,im here in the south east of london...
I'm also in SE London - Sydenham, which part are you?
My snow drops are poking through but not in flower.
But, the daffodils are ahead of them. This is not a surprise as that batch of bulbs have been flowering really early every year and are clearly a different variety from the norm, but it doesn't seem right.

Hmm, not in flower yet in my part of South Devon.
I can't think it'll be much longer now tho' ...

hiya mate im just outside croydon.
its a bit cold up here in edinburgh at the moment but the snowdrops are just starting to pop above the ground
When the snow drops flower where you are it is time to crack open a bottle and celebrate! The earth is warming up, nature is starting her spring thing, and that's a good reason to have a small party.
I admire those snow drops. Something so delicate willing to reach up when it's still harsh and cold. It's a small plant with a lot of attitude!

theres an oriental mustard called green in snow that keeps growing through frost and snow (hence the name). its been freezing recently here in scotland and i'm just about to have some (fresh from the garden) for tea.
