A Wee GBBD

I bet my patch of Snowdrops is bigger than yours.

    Most definitely bigger--I haven't even seen greenery on mine yet! (But I hope it's there, buried in the snow.)

    You win on the snowdrops. But your link to Carol's site doesn't seem to work.

    I don't do snowdrops. Those are nice.

    I took a peek at your Maui blog. I struggle with white shrimp plant; never knew it was an Hawaiian plant.

    Jean that White Shrimp plant is just a tropical plant that found Maui very much to it's liking. It isn't a native Hawaiian plant.

    There are lots of gorgeous tropical flower pics on my old blog. You could spend hours in there on a cold day.

    Love the snowdrops and that is a nice clump of them, as nice as I've seen. I don't know why I don't have any, but I'm getting some for next year to keep my little crocus company.

    That is a bountiful bunch of snowdrops. I have struggled with them here, must keep trying, I want some!

    Your snowdrops are totally bigger than mine. Mine are like three 1" leaves! I'm all, "wtf, snowdrops!"

    Oh, I don't have snowdrops! I have snowflakes!

    Galanthus vs. Leucojum.

    Nevermind.

    You win! I can't grow snowdrops in Austin. I do have a patch of summer snowflakes but you patch of snowdrops is bigger.

    It seems the Snowflake, Leucojum, blooms much later in the spring, some even in the fall and is a much taller plant.

    It also appears that Leucojum has been changed to genus Acis
