As you can see, the bulbs are a bit further along now. The snowdrops are open...
...as are the daffodils. We have four clumps of them running down the side of the rose bed, all planted before we moved in, and they come up reliably every year. (And we no longer have to put protective stakes around them because Olga's not here to trample them!)
The Leucojum, which is similar to a snowdrop, is blooming too.
The crocuses looked promising at first. This (above) was taken on Feb. 7.
But this was yesterday. The squirrel gods have deemed that no crocus shall be allowed to reach flowering stage!
I have not yet spotted any daffies in the gardens or on road verges around here, but there are snowdrops and crocus. We're expecting a drop in temperature this weekend after a couple of mild days, with the possibility of snow.
ReplyDeleteI have stopped planting crocus bulbs. The flowers just get eaten by rabbits.
ReplyDeleteSomething is eating our buds on our Magnolia tree, I think it might be squirrels, never happened before.
