Have just noticed 3 groups of snowdrops already in full flower in the garden. They are lovely and always bring a smile. It’s usually end December/start of January.
Can’t just be me, has anyone else got super early snowdrops?
I am in the SE.

Ro60, I did wonder..smile
Terribull, no it hasn’t been freezing, but even if it were snowdrops are joyful and hardy little things.

Sadly silver linings we have a couple but rather decimated after almost non stop rain of yesterday, nevertheless they were a surprise to us when they appeared.

Not snowdrops but two Echinacea flowers have popped up on one of my plants. The foliage was dying down after the summer and I read conflicting advice on when to cut it back when I noticed the new flowers.

Our Rhododendrons are in flower, camellias also.

One of our patio roses has started to flower again, just as I was thinking it needs cutting back. I'll have to go and check whether there are any snowdrops under the leaves.
