    Thanks I thought they were "special". I literally have 1000s and 1000s so I should know what "normal" Snowdrops look like.

        You must have some sort of micro climate there to grow this outdoors!

        I'm pleasantly surprised to find it surviving and actually thriving outside. It is tucked away near a fence and with a number of taller plants around it.
        I've also got Cestrum "Cretan Purple" flowering at the moment No photograph as with the wind it won't hold still for long enough.

              Four of my olive varieties are budding: arbequina, koroneiki, picholine and empeltre. This may be the year I finally get a decent amount of fruit. olive budss.jpg

                Most of my plants look happy at the moment but not 'good'. I'm hoping the Hellebores and Snowdrops will give me a good photo to share soon :D

                  Same here. Vestia foetida has just started blooming eight or ten weeks early and it is not so good in the shorter hours of daylight.............
