Snowdrops

[cnycharles]

Last Monday I found some of these flowering next to my apartment. Surprised because it was so warm didn't think it was right time. Daffodils had been popping out week before, and forsythias, redbud and magnolias are all in flower now

I did remember to post them now because it's sleeting raining and will be snowing tonight

Hey, this is not an orchid!!!!oke:

I love Snowdrop. Galathe elwesii or something I used to call it.

Used to grow them along with many other bulbs long ago.

My older building in upper west side had tons of these planted in the garden and it was quite the sight in the early spring!

You may have real snow by tonight.

Nice harbinger of Spring despite the pending snow. Are those clumps of chives next to the snowdrops?

I think it's onion grass

Nice! I absolutely love these flowers. Snowdrops generally bloom just about earlier than anything else around here...shortly after the witch hazel finishes blooming and right about the same time as the Helleborus start to open.

I love snow drops too, but the weather is so damn goofy
so far. Almost all my daffs. are blooming, crocus bloomed
and gone already. All kinds of plants beginning to leaf
out and it's gonna freeze 'em all in the next couple of
nights.
