I don't have any snowdrops as I think the squirrels dug them up years ago.
My helibores, winter Jasmine and Autumn cherry are cheerful though.

Lovely to see the snowdrops.

My garden is very confused. For the first time ever a bunch of daffodils flowered in January, just before the recent rain and cold snaps and the heads are now frozen in the earth. There are usually a mass of Christmas roses in flower but so far not a sign. The Mahonia flowered early but the flowers are very small and barely visible and normally it's covered in long yellow spikes.

I'm too far north for flowers yet. The bulbs started to poke through in the pots but a series of below freezing temperatures, ice and snow have put paid to that! Looks lovely though

I love all the shrubs you mentioned Wwmk2, lovely scent. I only have Christmas Box.
Beautiful Hellibores Sarah75, I did have some but nothing showing this year.
I know how you feel Grannybags

My snowdrops are just starting to open. Very excited when I spotted them yesterday!

No snowdrops yet, but some of the Hellebores are flowering

Mine are only a couple of inches of shoots.

The only thing I have in flower are iris unguicularis - which I love and shrubs - winter clematis, honeysuckle and Christmas box - all grown to help the bees.

I love them too but don’t think spring has arrived! Yours look gorgeous and far more advanced than mine. I often see the winter aconites in flower first.

Lucky you, we are nowhere close to that! How pretty.

Snow drops always cheer me up.
The start of fresh new beginnings?
