Snow and Snowdrops


We have had warmish sun last few days and the snow is slowly melting. I found these wee guys this morning bravely trying to flower. They've been buried under around 15" of snow for the last 10 days or so. So delicate looking but so strong to have survived.

What a splendid sight - a heart warming discovery in all that snow. Brave and strong and full of hope.

Re: Snow and Snowdrops


That just shows how they got their name I imagine just popping up above the snow.

Amazing isn't it...yet I imagine the snow actually kept them from freezing...
