My garden is already starting to come back to life with early spring bulbs. Over the next few days I will share some of them with you. This is Spring Snowflake [Leucojum vernum vagneri] and is very early this year - not usually flowering until March! It is a native of South and East Europe.

What a pretty shot. I hope that they will grow in New England. They remind me of lily of the valley only bigger and the green tips on the ends of the petals are certainly unique. I love this picture and I am REALLY glad you sent it..thanks

What a beautiful and delicate flower. They remind me of Lily of the Valley. Are they fragrant? This is a lovely capture and post. Thanks Steve.
