Droopy in the Garden

Behold ... A Crocus (singular).

At last ... a vision of Spring, a taste of things to come, albeit a droopy one (the flower, not the season). Think the weight of last weeks snow has taken its toll on this poor chap and I guess once the birds feast their eyes on it, it'll soon be a nibbled 'goner. Such a shame after all the effort to get here.

Meanwhile, the Hellebores are flowering their droopy heads off. This is a stunning pinky / white variety (sorry no idea which) but it has that delicious ice-cream feel about it.

At last my seed compost bags have finally thawed out, time to get planting, there's lots of life appearing in the garden ...so exciting.
