And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, “The Sensitive Plant”

Ah… finally! I was getting worried that spring was not coming to your part of the country! What are those flowers called?
Those are the lovely snowdrops – harbingers of at least one more snowstorm followed by spring! Finally, indeed! : )
Beautiful–
Having just moved, I was missing my crocuses; they should be coming up right now.
Thanks for sharing yours!
Happy to share! It is true, isn’t it, that the smallest things can remind us of home, or mark time, or announce what is about to come!
