Snowdrop fest

Snowdrop fest
This week at Dunham Massey was snowdrop week. I think you can see why it is thus called from my photograph here. One very rarely sees such a bountiful collection of snowdrops. I have to give full credit to the gardeners of this incredible parkland and for once the sun shone even though it was only about 3C.

Enjoy the day.

Glad you liked this Gordon. A pity that your snowdrops are not out yet. We have two kinds of snowdrops in our gardens but only tiny clumps but they have all been out some time. This was a marvellous display at the Massy and the reason we went there in the first place as advised by a friend.
I took most with my Nikon and here is one of those if you care to look. A rare Flickr posting: www.flickr.com/photos/42716516@N08/54338243987/in/dateposted

It's coming! It's coming although it doesn't feel like spring yet. We've got some clumps of snowdrops and a few yellow crocus (which the squirrels like to eat) but the daffs & narcissus are pushing their green way up!

Just some minutes back my car thermometer said it was 15C so it definitely feels like Spring accompanied by the heavy spring rains too. Glad you liked this. We have lots of green chutes and a few clumps of snowdrops to bring colour in the garden but our heather seems to be purple all through the winter too. Our squirrels like to eat our flowers too.

Cheers. Herb

Sorry about this Keith. I just had to share this view but I did like you set too. I am pretty sure that I have never see such a large selection before as this. Great that you enjoyed them too.

Seems my original comment did not stay. You really cant better the shot of the park with all theses flowers would not last here or be anything like this display with the heat and lack of rain. This is also some thing I miss from NZ milder climate the bulbs that was part of the big parks.

Some advantage of all our cool rainy days Steve. You could even smell the flowers around here. I would hate not seeing things like this.
