Once again, the Farmer's Almanac got it right... Yesterday it was rainy, cold and it snowed! What flowers that I did have in bloom were droopy, wet and wouldn't have looked very attractive in a photo.
As a tribute to the Almanac and to participate in Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, I am posting photos of Snowdrops 'Galanthus sp' (seems appropriate) that I took a few weeks ago!
