New Print today!
They are such an inspiration when they start showing the heads above the soil
Well, today my snowdrops are still blooming their socks off⌠but Iâm looking at them through horizontal hail and a moment ago there was a roll of thunder! And the constant raw whoosh of the gale is punctuated by the pitter patter of tiny balls of ice rattling down my chimney. Brrr. Iâve just given up and put the central heating on.
Just as well, despite their apparent fragility, snowdrops are as tough as old boots!
Whatâs the weird weather doing down your way? Has anyone got actual snow to go with their snowdrops?
Best wishes,
Chris
Down here in Cornwall I have had snowdrops for a couple of weeks and now some lovely yellow primroses too!
I have seen snowdrops this week here in Cheshire
Just starting snowing here not sticking though itâs been hail stoning and raining for 3 days
Where in the country are you?
Itâs bitterly cold here in Cambridge. The skies are getting darker by the second but itâs raining not snowing. My kids are going to be seriously dischuffed!
Snowdrops are my all time favourite flower and weâve just got 2 up in our garden in Newcastle, thankfully they havenât been nibbled by our free range rabbit yet!!
Do bunnies like eating snowdrops? I had an idea that theyâre toxic⌠although I could be confusing them with daffs. (which are).
OOh hello, I have no idea !! Itâd be kinda good if they are bunny resistant at least Iâll have a few bulbs flowering this spring, Heâs eaten pretty much everything else in the garden!!
My (7) ferrets would soon sort the problem for you! Lol!
No, but seriously, I donât think they would. Theyâve never seen a rabbit and wouldnât have a clue what theyâre supposed to do with one. Theyâre so soft, they turn their noses up at earthworms and like their eggs hard boiled! And Slinky and Houdini have a thing for a nice bit of Brussels pate!
Iâve just listed these snowdrops on a mixed media ACEO
