 More Snowdrops. As noted in recent entries there is a large patch of them at the back of the garden. Over the years I've dug up small clumps after flowering and transplanted them 'in the green' to other parts of the garden. These clumps are themselves clumping up nicely.
 This area is dominated by Persicaria amplexicaulis later in the year but it dies down over winter and the new growth has yet to appear. Early flowering bulbs are ideal for a spot like this. By the time the Persicaria appears the bulbs have flowered, wilted and become dormant underground.
