It's happening. New growth is starting to poke through. These Spring Snowflakes (Leuojcum vernum) I planted a few years ago seem to like this spot, probably because it corresponds to their natural habitat of damp scrub. They're slowly increasing- I must purchase some more in the autumn. Simple rule of thumb: if a particular plant does well in a certain area plant some more. 

 Not a common bulb but a few specialist growers have them. These came from Shipton Bulbs whose catalogue notes that they are found in many parts of Europe but are native to Britain in Dorset and Somerset only.
