Morning everyone, have a great day. The summer snowflakes are getting in to their stride now and looking lovely dotted around the garden 🤍 #blooms #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #leucojum-aestivum-gravetye-giant

Morning Jane .. love these , so pretty, really must get some 🤍🤍

Morning Julie, you must, they really are a great addition to the garden 🤍 @juliesgarden

👍🏻👍🏻

Morning Jane 🙋♂️ mine have all gone but the daffs are now doing their best

Morning Jane, these are a must for next year love them🤍💚

Its a shame you don't see more of them in gardens as they are so pretty

Morning Jeremy. My snowdrops have gone but these snowflakes flower later. I've still got a late daffodil just about to flower 🌼 @jpea

Morning Elise. Definitely a must 👌 @Auricula

Morning Joan, I absolutely agree, I love them 🤍 @joannie.a

Good morning Jane they are pretty 🤍🤍🤍

Morning Jane…..so pretty 🤍💚🤍

Morning all. The summer snowdrops are appearing now, I love their graceful beauty 🤍Have a fantastic Friday #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #white

Morning Jane. I love these ...can't remember where I planted mine though! Enjoy your day 👋😍

Morning again Jane… love these 🤍

Morning Pauline, hopefully you’ll soon see them and thank you 🙏 @flof1952

Gorgeous aren’t they Julie 🤍 @juliesgarden

Morning Jane, they're so pretty 😍

Morning Ange, aren't they just 🤍 @anges

I love them! I have a single flower out, so not long now

They'll come thick and fast now Joan 😍 @joanboston

Yes Jane, I can’t wait

Hi Jane, I didn’t realise there was a variety that flowered now 🤔 @pelly

They're not really snowdrops, they belong to the amaryllis family rather than the galanthus family and they are much taller. They are so worth growing Karen 😍 @KOutdoors

Morning everyone, the Summer Snowflakes are still going still going strong in the shade border. I hope you all get to enjoy the sun today 🌞 #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant

Love these Jane, sadly most of mine have bent in the frost and are now on the floor 😔

Morning Jane 🙋♂️ they're rather pretty

Love these little flowers 🤍🤍

Morning Jane, they look lovely! 🤍💚🤍

That’s a shame Joan. Even though the planting instructions give full/partial sun these do much better than the ones in the sunny border. It might be worth a try 🤔 @joanboston

It’s the ones in the shade that are bent over Jane, the others in the sun, are pretty much ok

Morning Jeremy, I look forward to seeing them every year 💚 @jpea

Me too, they're so sweet 💚 @juliesgarden

Morning Ange, thank you 🙏 @anges

Oh, well there goes my theory 😂 @joanboston

Good morning Jane they look lovely 🤗

Great catch! I noticed some of mine have started flowering today

Thanks Joan, they're great plants 💚 @joanboston

Is that a lady bird hanging on 🤔

Yes it is Charlotte, there seemed to be quite a few in the garden yesterday 🐞 @charlotte

Yay! 🤩🐞

Yay indeed 😍 @telswirld

Morning everyone, it’s supposed to be a better day today so hopefully I’ll be out in the garden. Stay safe #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #leucojum-aestivum-gravetye-giant #white 🙋♀️🤍

Morning Jane, me too - although I'm hoping the garden waste bin is emptied today 🤞 so I can fill it back up again 😀 Stay safe

I put mine out yesterday but they didn’t empty it, we forgot to pay for it in time 🙄😂

Oh that's a shame 🙄😆

Morning Jane @pelly

Morning Elise, thank you and that's just what I intend to do today 🙋😍 @auricula

Morning Mike 🙋 @mikethegardener

Morning Jane .. love these little flowers🤍🤍, stay well ☺️

Good morning all - your early birds 🦢 🦅

This was l lovely surprise this morning, my first summer snowflake #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #leucojum-aestivum-gravetye-giant 🤍💚🤍

It's so pretty 😍❤️

Thanks Laura, I really do like these @columbiariver 🤍💚🤍

Me too 💚😘

Blimey, that’s early mine are barely out of the ground😀

This one gets more sun where it is, the ones in my shadier are nowhere near either Joan. I must admit I was surprised to find this @joanboston 😍👍

I love them Jane and they multiply nicely too

Mine have definitely bulked up this year @joanboston 👍

Lovely 😊

Thanks Sharon @sharonhayden 🙏

Morning Jane lovely snowdrops hope the storm isn’t too bad for you today stay say 💐🌺

Morning Jane. Quite blustery here and storm clouds up above ....keep safe 👋😮☔

Morning Pauline, thank you. I really hate these sort of days, I spend them worrying about my garden, but I’m sure I’m not on my own there @flof1952 😱😱

Morning again Twin @pelly something I haven’t got in my garden 😱 will have to put that right 😂😘

Morning Jane ... not arrived here yet although pretty windy atm ! 😁

Morning Jane, wet n windy here, yeah more time in the greenhouse 😁

Morning Jane hope there’s no damage done today 😘

Think we all worry about our gardens especially now when the new growth is in full swing Jane 🤔

Oh you must get some, they're beautiful @jadojado29 💚😘

Morning Julie, some very strong gusts here now but not as much rain @juliesgarden 💨💨

First flower spotted this morning, I absolutely love them #summersnowflake #leucojumaestivum 15/3/19

Same here Jane! Not quite as open as yours though. I’ve been outside for an hour, but the biting wind has driven me back inside

I've hardly been out in the garden since these awful winds started, it sounds as if they'll be gone on Sunday and I'm so looking forward to that 👍👍

Cataloguing #notmyphoto I managed to plant a few more bulbs with Emily's"help" today. 😊😊😊

Those are beautiful 😍

Thank you Kathryn, I hope mine look as good @katgreen 😊😊😊

Aw lovely Emily gave you a hand Jane,I love these 😍👍

I put the bulbs where I wanted them and she kept pinching them. I've lost one of these somewhere @daisy-jane 😂😂😂

This variety looks gorgeous ☀️❄️☀️

Thanks, they're lovely aren't they @AlisaJ 😊😊😊

So pretty! Your gardens are going to explode in spring. I can't wait!

Thanks Laura, still a lot to go in yet @columbiariver 😊😊😊

It'll probably pop up somewhere your not expecting then Jane,but it will be a lovely surprise cause you'll know it's the one Emily planted for nan in a special place 😘👍

She threw it somewhere, I'll have a proper hunt tomorrow @daisy-jane 😂😂😂

Aw you should plant it where it is if you do find it Hun,then Emily will know which one is her's 😁😘👍
