Peeking through this morning’s snow the diminutive snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) is being true to its name. Last year, at this time my snowdrops had been in bloom for 5 weeks and the leaves were 6-8” tall. This year they first bloomed last week and the leaves are 2-3” tall. … another promise that spring is coming.
