Snowy Milk-Flower...

...or Galanthus nivalis.

Snowdrops.

Magnify here.

They are all out now (except for the 1000 or so new ones I planted in the autumn, which are a bit slower than the established colonies).

Most species of daffodil have made a good three inches of growth this week, the wilder types a bit slower than the blousy garden varieties.

Spring is slowly but definitely on its way!
