Snowdrops in bloom

Monday, February 08, 2016

Snowdrops in bloom! It's been a delight to see these wonderful little pearly white droplets nestling in grasses, gardens and verges over the past few days. As the first wild flowers to put on a show of the year it's a sort of 'welcome' with spring (supposedly) a way off but these serve as some sort of aperitif of things to come. 


Have you spotted the snowdrops in bloom?

    A weekend wander through some nearby parkland welcomed us with carpets of these pretty little flowers.

    They are pretty! I always think of Enid Blyton books when I think of them!

    We visited Anglesey Abbey last Wednesday to see the snowdrops - two weeks earlier than last year. Some were small clumps and some were as white carpets. A few were past their best.
    Worth a visit before they are all gone for another year.
