Snowdrops Before Snowflakes

This winter the snowdrops emerged before the snowflakes fell — and this sequence also expresses my preference. I’d rather look at clumps of snowdrops and other pre-spring ephemerals than piles of snow. Last week, in near zero degree temperatures, and before this past weekend’s snow dump, I went hunting for Galanthus nivalis in neighbourhood gardens. These are photos of my favourite finds.
