Galanthus nivalis

Every spring this little corner of the garden catches me by surprise 🤩 #snowdrop #betula-jacquemontii #ophiopogon-planiscapus

Spring Heaven 💚🤍

So very pretty, Jacqueline 🥰

Just so pretty Jacqueline 🤍🤍💚

Just stunning! I now have tree envy, and I didn’t even know it was a thing!? 😉

Beautiful 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Oh how beautiful Jacqueline 😯👌

What a lovely description Elise 😊 @auric

Thank you Barbara and Julie. The trees are up on a bank so you actually get to see the snowdrops at eye level, which I love @jacaranda @juliesgarden

😂 Oh I’m sure it’s a thing! They don’t take up much space and you can plant them even closer together than I have… 🤔 @carolecuttingitfine

Thank you both 😊@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @flof1952

Wow that’s very special- the white bark and the white snowdrops what more can you want?! 🤩

Here they are under the #betula-jacquemontii at dusk yesterday. You can’t really see the black mondo grass in this photo but it’s there, I promise @pelly

I can just picture it though. The setting is beautiful Jacqueline 😍😍😍

Stunning 🤩

Wow

It’s the view from the footpath so I don’t often see it 🙄😂 @pelly

Thank you Sue 😊 @suerichards

😊 @charlotte

That’s lovely Jacqueline 😊 they look really good there

Thanks Rich 😊 @richard.spicer.7906

Beautiful!

Perfect placement! And what a gorgeous pic 🤍

What a wonderful sight Jacqui!

I also uncovered these. I love the #combo of #galanthus and #ophiopogon 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

Fab together! 🤍🖤💚

So beautiful 😍

A match made in Heaven Jacqueline, this is what I've done in a couple of places. I've also got a clump next to a cyclamen, the white shows up the silver veining in the foliage. I'll post a pic 💚💚💚

Thanks Rachel. I don’t have many good combos but I love this one @rachelbrooks

Thank you Shona. I’m glad you like it 😊 @sho47

They are a great combo aren’t they Jane. I have them under the silver birches too 😍 @pelly

Accidental combos are the best....💚🤍🖤😉

...and the ones I try to create never usually work 🤷‍♀️ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

🖤🤍💚😍

Good morning from a decidedly damp and foggy Kendal. First snow drop of the year. Spotted as we left Wasdale. 💚🤍 #signsoflife

How lovely, can’t wait to see mine. I was looking at a holiday cottage in Wasdale yesterday 😍👍🤍

Me too 😍 Wasdale is wonderful Jane. It is my favourite valley, so beautiful and dramatic, and relatively quiet. @pelly

6 Feb 2019 • Just love this combination. #snowdrops #blackmondograss 🖤💚🖤

Mm very nice Jacqui.

Ooh yes, they look lovely together 😍

Gorgeous, I’ll have to remember this combo Jacqueline 💚🖤

Oh yes..👌🏼

Thanks Val 😊 @valjones-hughes

They really do don’t they Sarah 👍@sieveheadsarah

Thanks Elaine 😊@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Definitely one for the noddle Elsie 🤔😉😂 @auricula

I really like it and once the snowdrops have flowered they are so good at just disappearing 👏👏 @pelly

So beautiful 😍@awomanonabike

Thanks Shona 😊@sho47

5 April 2018 • Good morning all. The last of the snowdrops until next year but boy, have they lasted a long time. Some good things come from a long winter...🤔

Morning Jacqueline, ah well on to the tulips 🌷👍

Morning Julie. Yes, I have one that is just beginning to show some colour...

Hi Jason, sorry to hear that. I wonder what got them 🤔 They will look lovely in pots though 💚 @Jasonsparkes1

Definitely need pots then! Good luck with your house hunt 🏡 @Jasonsparkes1

Morning Jacqueline 👍👍

It’s sad to see them go, but boy it’s been good to see them amongst some of the weather we’ve had this winter

It is sad but I don’t remember ever having them around for so long @richard.spicer.7906

18 February 2018 • On a brighter note, the snowdrops and #blackmondograss are thickening up nicely 😊

They look fab Jacqueline amongst that grass 👌🏼 good contrast

Thanks Rich. I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out. There’s loads of aquilegia in there too but no sign of them yet... @richard.spicer.7906

Thanks Jason. I was going to add, it’s a really easy one too, but not if you’re having problems keeping the mondo alive. 🤔 I wonder why...🤷‍♀️ @Jasonsparkes1

Stunning

Thank you Badr 😊 @badrideen

I can’t think. It seems pretty indestructible though have just looked it up and it prefers slightly acid soil. Maybe it’s too chalky? @Jasonsparkes1

Beautiful. Lovely combination

Thanks Rachel 😊 @rachelbrooks

Fun childhood but not good for the mondo 😉😂 @Jasonsparkes1

Hope it thrives, then maybe she’ll give you a bit 🤔👍😂 @Jasonsparkes1

That's a beautiful sight 😍😍

21 January 2018 • My first snowdrops ❄️🌿❄️

Congratulations....👌🏼😉

Ooo how pretty and you have snow ⛄️

Thanks Elaine, they always mark the turn of the year don’t they @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

We did Vanessa but it’s raining now 😩 @nessas

They are gorgeous aren’t they Laura. And yes snow, briefly... It’s virtually all gone already @columbiariver

👍 It’s often like this. The snow comes, we get excited but before we can enjoy it, it has gone again and we are left with icy slush 😢 @columbiariver

Nope! And it hasn’t been cold enough to skate for years either 😢 @columbiariver

Lovely sight 😍😍

One of my favourites 💚 @pelly

Mine too. 😍😍

Oh bummer that happened here to 😢😢

1 January 2018 • Wishing you all the best for 2018. The new gardening year has started 🌱 🥂🍾 🌱

And what a lovely start! Hope your Year is filled with delight! 🌱💚😘

Happy new year 🍸🎆🎇🎊

Yours too Rachel 😊 @rachelbrooks

You too Keely 🥂🍾 @Keely

What a promising first photo for 2018 😊 Happy New Year!!

Thanks Elisa. It always feels like the year has turned when I see the first snowdrops. Happy New Year to you too 🥂🍾

Happy New Year Jason! 🥂🌱

Woohoo 👌👌

Wishing you a happy new year Jacqueline 😊🎉🍾

You too Richard! 🌿🌱🥂🍾🌿🌱

I love the way snowdrops pierce the leaves overlying them on their way up!

#galanthus #snowdrop

I even spotted a tiny little primula flower yesterday! @gjones #springiscoming

Thanks Kari, I always forget about #tags! @KariSamuel

I live tagging, so no big deal!!

Beautiful shot not easy to get to there level 😉❤️

Thanks Pauline, but it's easy when they are in a raised bed! 😉 @pauline33

😊👍

Love them 💕🌿

Me too! @plants

Did a bit of clearing up & found my first snow drop 🌱❄️🌱

Oh how exciting Jacqueline. 😊😊. @awomanonabike

I know, it really is isn't it Jane?! I don't like to tidy up too much in the winter but I love it when I find the snowdrops. #springiscoming @pelly

Ooh lovely! 👏🏼 no sign of mine...

Maybe they're hiding too @rachelbrooks
