WF your Pulmonaria is early and there is a lack of snow around it. You are lucky. When I did some reorganizing of the garden, I threw out a lot of Pulmonarias and grew some on from seed. I wanted more and looked for seed last year but didn't find any, I'll look a little harder this year. The flowers are sweet but I grow it for the foliage. Yes it is Cherry, subalpina I think

Your foliage looks lovely in the frost & snow Steve! Your pulmonaria is very early isn't it W.F.? I think mine is usually later than most but it'll be ages yet.

Just thought I would show you what I picked up from our local Prison they have there own little garden centre where they grow all there own plants, these I picked up for £7-00, the pittosporum I paid £5 and the Helleborus £2, both lovely plants,much cheaper than g/c. This Helleborus my cousin gave as she got fed up with it as it hadn't flowered, as you can see it's lovely double. And these daff's are just outside my greenhouse, lovely to see.

You did well Lesley. The leaves on the Pittosporum always look good. Maybe you should not tell your cousin about the super double Helleborus. Lovely pics.

The sun came out today and the flowers came out with it. The crocus opened out in the wood The snowdrops are out in full force now too, the garden is full of them. . . . . . and my mini snowdrop walk is getting there.

I love your snowdrops WF. I just love snowdrops. They really lift the spirits and herald the start of a new gardening year.
