    Ours are just showing white, but some down the lane on the riverbank are well in flower. Because of the amount of water in the river I cannot get close enough safely to take a decent picture and half of them are under water. It will be interesting to see what those are like when/if the water levels drop.

    Mine are just showing through too, just a few though, I hope the rest follow, I've tried to build up a nice little patch of them, think they are lovely.

    What a lovely picture roders.

    It'll be a week or more before ours are that far along. Some of them are just starting to show the white but most of them are only green leaves so far.

    We transplanted most of our snowdrops (thousands) last year because of a building project and, thankfully, they are now beginning to just show white tips. Some of our early snowdrops that weren't transplanted are in full flower and the person who came in to feed the birds whilst we were away said that those snowdrops were in flower two weeks before Christmas!!! :eek:
