1st Snowdrop of winter 30th November 2013

This is the plant that flowered late December last year , but it has now developed two flowering stems.
This is the earliest one I have ever grown

Ahh right

Blimey, nice one Spruce

Now, is it very early or very late?

 

Now that is a good question , I would say early as it did flower late December in 2012.

I havnt a clue how the red acer leaves and Forest pansy leaves landed in the right spot

 

A truly Winter scene there Spruce. Pretty little snowdrop - very early isn't it,

Thanks Jens, it enjoyed the sunshine as it opened fully by 2.30pm

Really nice photo, none of my snowdrops are even showing yet

 

G. reginae-olgae will flower perhaps as early as late October (its flowers come before leaves). Too early for me ... I like them to be part of a winter scene - bit like growing a really early Parsnip variety and then eating them in the Summer - wrong season, no thanks!

G. elwesii 'Remember Remember' flowers ... round about 1st week of November, and G. plicatus 'Three Ships' normally at Christmas

A couple of mine (in pots) are in bud, but they are in the lee of a North wall so probably won't come into flower soon without some more sun
