The snowdrops are up!

My mom reported this week that the first snowdrops are up! Spring has started in the garden at last. We'll try to include as many dates like these as possible. Are the snowdrops up in your neighborhood?

Some sites about snowdrops

I have never seen so many varieties of snowdrops! If you can tell the difference between them, please let me know. I'm in ignorence here.

Here is a good gallery of snowdrop varieties - a little easier to distinguish varieties.
Some favorites
Grumpy
Sir Edward Elgar
Wasp
Diggory (very ruffled)

Who would have known there was so much variety here! Certainly I didn't.

I don't know what the varieties at Dorothy's are - I'll try to find out.
