I am probably the only person in the world thinking that. But living in a tropical country, it is (a bit) surprising that I miss it. But really I am celebrating it for what it did. Last year there had been an early warm spell , and everything flowered ahead of schedule. You may remember I only saw one lonely snowdrop. So this year I am excited when I read the weather reports and see photos on people’s blogs about the snow. This year, I am hoping to see my drops. In the meantime, I spend time lurking on the Galanthus site of the SRGC, and drooling over snowdrops on Pauline’s, Carolyn’s and Anna’s blogs.
My neighbour was nice enough to send me a photo of Kilbourne Grove when the storm happened a couple of weeks ago.
First it was light, then wow,
that is a great cover to keep my snowdrops from flowering before I arrive.
Snow, glorious snow!
I am a floral designer living in a tiny condo in downtown Toronto, Canada's largest city. But on the weekend, I am a gardener/frustrated architect trying to keep up with a 3/4 acre garden in Owen Sound, Ontario, a warm (to Canadians, Zone 5b, and a cold (to Americans, Zone 4b) garden.

It had better be, I am anxious to see how much of an increase in the number of snowdrops I have.

And we’re gettign it again!! After a warm, nice day yesterday, we’ve gotten about 6 cm of slushy, heavy snow. You wouldn’t be missing it if you had to shovel that!! Not that I do it either, but you know.

I completely understand why you miss the snow. I love it too, and we haven’t had any this winter. I hope the snowdrops are there when you arrive. Thanks for linking to my site.

Such a funny winter and so different everywhere. Thank you for writing about galanthus, I am learning so much from your blog.

How nice of your neighbour to send you photos of the snow back home so you know your snowdrops are still waiting for you!
As you know, we are enjoying our snowdrops right now, thanks for the link.

I was super happy when I saw them, and glad I get to enjoy yours until I can get home.

Well, it’s snowing like crazy right now in Stouffville (north of Toronto). It’s really beautiful but now I have to drive in it! The maple syrup festival begins next week at Bruce’s Mill so I know spring is around the corner – cant wait!

We got off easy last year and Old Man Winter is making up for it this year. We have so much snow, I am beginning to despair that it will ever be spring. If this keeps up, you will be enjoying snowdrops for sure.

It seems you got both last years and this years all together, hopefully it will be all melted soon.
