Blooming Friday: March, week 1 – sun glorious sun
Welcome to Blooming Friday. We have had four days of sun and what a difference it has made.
The Crocuses have stayed open for whole days.
Crocus sieberi ssp sublimis 'Tricolor'
The Snowdrops have finally opened to show a number of variations on a colour scheme of green and white.
Galanthus nivalis
Galanthus 'Sam Arnott'
Galanthus nivalis pleniflorus 'Flore Pleno'

Oh yes, the spring is near…wonderful images!
But in Austria ..ohoh…very cold!
Happy Blooming Friday…Luna
How could we stay away from a post with such a title? No way, freenay, as my kids used to say. Your crocus are as glorious as the light, and the snowdrops are so sweet. They look like petticoats edged in green, what an enchanting flower. :-)

Lovely spring shots – I love the dubble snowdrops!
Mine are hidden in half a meter deep snow….
We’ve got as far as micro-croci round here.
I’ve wandered up and down the three photos and I can’t bring myself to like the one at the bottom. It’s the same with hollyhocks – a summer isn’t the same without the single ones but I really don’t like doubles. And, very often with roses, the less there is to a bloom, the more lovely it is. It’s as if that loveliness has been concentrated. And with snowdrops – it’s the simplicity which gets me . . . I’ve never remembered the names but I think the ones with just little green dots are ones I like best – but isn’t it clever, too, the way the green lines are all there on the insides but not on the outside? . . . and that when you see a field of snowdrops, it’s all very impressive . . . but they come into their own when seen one by one, as individuals.

Your ‘Flore Pleno’ Snowdrop is simply lovely! I don’t think I’ve seen a double form before. I would love to grow them here, I’m just not sure how easy there are to find here.
Lovely light and spring flowers. It is sweet to see the faces of snowdrops held upright! Happy Gardening to you!! ;>)
Here I long for snowdrops but they are covered with lots of snow.

I love the colors of the crocus! Soft and brilliant at the same time.
I envy you your Galanthus. So beautiful! Have a nice weekend!
What a difference a day makes or four in your case!
I love your Crocus ‘tricolor’! So very pretty!It’s comforting to know that spring has arrived in your part of the world…it’s bound to come this way as well sooner or later.
Have a nice Sunday!
some lovely snowdrops you have. I have never seen the last, doubel, one. A beauty for sure. It will still take a while before the snow gives way for them. :(
