Wlf what's growing in the middle of the circle ? I love all those snowdrops you've planted. That would be a crooked obelisk, the remains of a frost damaged Yucca and a very dead Castor Oil plant ;D I love snowdrops too, luckily for me they love my garden too

I love the snowdrop shot.
I learned something new about snowdrops yesterday. Double snowdrops are sterile but are still far more prolific then than single ones.

Super snowdrops Steve ;D I didn't know that about them either WF. This is the first year ever that I have had a decent display.....they usually disappear after their first year

Lots of lovely pics. I'm envious of your irises Steve & Peony, mine seem to be getting nibbled by slugs/snails/birds as soon as they come up so I haven't seen any flowers yet. There are quite a few snowdrops out & hellebores, some of the crocus are out too but they keep getting battered over by the weather.

very pretty peony, is that Katherine Hodgkin ? Only one small group of my iris survived to start flowering which were quickly flattened, I'll have to get some this year and put them where they will be safer

They are all fabulous. I have noticed that spring flowers are earlier this year than last.
