WW - Snowdrop and Crocus
Early blooms. This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday edition of Wordless Wednesday.
Ohhh, I love that snowdrop! You take such beautiful flower pictures, Jams! (give me a couple of months and I'll start posting some too every now and again! We can grow them here, really, I swear it!)
Pretty flowers!! Reminds me of the yellow flowers that are selling like hotcakes here now... I think the Khmer-Chinese community considers them lucky for this year. Gong Xi Fa Cai!@
Hi Jams. Great shots. They make me think of my late grandmother, who had crocus planted in a flowerbed near her front door every year. I miss her -- and the crocus.
I miss the snowdrops that were in my gram's garden. We had to leave them behind when we moved 7 years ago. Your picture reminds me that I'd like to get some snowdrop bulbs for the fall. Lovely photos for WW!
I am having so much trouble, here, where we are having two snow storms and ice storms a week, to grasp that you aren't. These are beautiful flowers and photographs. I remember that exciting feeling of the first flower photos of the year. But it ain't gonna happen here for three more months!
Those are very beautiful flowers. BTW, our human has let us start our own blog. Happy WW!
