Snowdrops

Creeping out of hibernation to show the first sign of Spring in the garden



Had to put it as a link 'cos I couldn't get the insert image thing to work

 

Mine still under snow

 

Mine are under water :(

 

Mine are under a Magnolia and are just showing.

I am growing a Galanthus nivalis - the only one of several bulbs to emerge - currently in a container in my flat. It is growing quite tall but has not yet come to flower. At what point should I move it outside? Should I remove it from the container to transplant into the garden? Thanks.

 

"At what point should I move it outside? Should I remove it from the container to transplant into the garden?"

Snowdrops are best planted "in the green" - immediately after flowering, rather than when they have died down.

Yes, remove the container if you plant it in the soil.

 

We've got snowdrops too! :thumb:

and the daffodils are ready to flower - just a couple of days'
sunshine should do it!:yez:

Just another pic.of this gorgeous winter beauty............just before they all go...

 

our local churchyard has many different varieties, a great identification challenge to my students

 

Roders, that's what I'm hoping for with my garden. On a slightly smaller scale mind you. They look beautiful
