The Wet, Wet Garden

After worrying about the rain deficit (we were below normal for April), Mother Nature generously rewarded us with an abundance of rain this past week. I am not going to complain although I do wish it would skip my off-days. Today (Saturday) is an especially wet day. I ventured out briefly and took a few shots. The plants grow so fast from the rain.

Snowdrops



I've had mixed results growing snowdrops over the years but this little patch is currently making a nice appearance. I think I remember reading that there are thousands of varieties but honestly, they all look the same to me. This is the earliest blooming flower in the garden. Spring is coming!

    I felt they all looked the same too, Phillip, until I started following a number of UK garden blogs. After several years, I've come to appreciate their differences even though there's absolutely no chance of growing them in my climate ;)

    I felt the same way about them, and the--like Kris above-- I started following UK garden blogs and there are definitely differences. I love the green markings on this one, like little green hearts.

    Doesn't matter how small those first little flowers are always the most special.
