Chloris
The Blooming Garden 
Hey, yours are up too! Just saw Cathy’s post! Look forward to more. 🙂
They really help us to get through the worst months, they are such a joy.
What a perfect name for your snowdrop, its beautiful.
It is a lovely one and I particularly appreciate the ones that flower early in the season.
I love small and beautiful things. Look at how much is alive even in winter. (happy sigh)
It is the little treasures that keep us going in the winter. We probably would hardly notice snowdrops if they bloomed in the summer.
Chloris, have you ever guessed how many different plants and flowers grow in your garden? It is such an interesting garden. And how did this Snowdrop get to your garden from its original spot?
Thank you Cynthia I am always seeking out winter flowering plants and snowdrops in particular. This one is readily available commercially.
She is a beauty Chloris. Funnily enough mine in pot under cover now in the greenhouse is not as advanced as yours. These December flowering snowdrops always seem extra special.
I love them. How odd that yours in the greenhouse isn’ t out yet. Mine wasn’ t as early last year.
The Blonde Inge you gave me is showing its snout above the soil. I am very excited to see the flower.
Whoohoo for Mrs Macnamara, even though she isn’t the first of yours to flower. Now, do I dare go and poke around to see if my Mrs M is doing anything…..
Well? Is she?
She is indeed sticking her nose out, I am pleased to say….
It is lovely to see the things that should be flowering now, somehow it is more hopeful than flowers out of season.
Snowdrops keep us going throughout the winter. They are little gems.
Marvellous. She’s a real beauty and all the better for being early.
I !ove the early ones, it is lovely to have these little treasures before the others have got round to showing their heads.
Mine’s is not too far behind, I’m hoping it’s out for bloom day.
I had no idea of it’s alternative name, thanks for that.
I’ m !looking forward to seeing your snowdrops Angie. This one wasn’ t so early last year.
Wonderful.
They are a delight.
would love to see these when the current snow melts…
Oh dear, I hope it won’ t last long. I hate the stuff.
beautiful picture.
Is this the last of the fall drops or the first of the spring? I prefer to think the latter.
Yes, let’ s have done with Autumn now I am tired of it. This is my first Spring snowdrop.
Oh my, you never are without a bloom:-) Mine is all brown and quiet….I just walked by a window today + thought, “mighty brown out there” …no snow , yet:-) You live in a place that provides you with lovely flowers all year long!
Winter flowering plants are really important to me so I seek out as many as possible. When I had a much larger garden I used to have a winter garden which was a delight to me. I am planning one here but as I haven’ t so much room it will have to be on a much smaller scale.
Beautiful snowdrops. News to me that they will bloom in fall.
Look out for reginae- olgae, Barnes, this one and Three Ships if you would like some early ones. Reginae- olgae starts blooming in October.
Gorgeous! I can’t imagine seeing Snowdrops in the fall. Thanks for sharing!
There are several Autumn flowering snowdrops. My earliest is reginae- olgae in October followed by Barnes in November and this one along with Three Ships for December.
How dainty and elegant, I love her, makes me yearn for mine in spring.xxx
Perhaps you should look for some early ones. It is nice to extend the season.
