Of all the pictures I've approved on poe the last few weeks, I don't recall seeing any of snowdrops yet? Unless someone on auto approval has added some. I know they are in flower, as I've seen them up around the Cotswolds on my way through to Tewkesbury to visit mum, just wondered if we'd had any uploaded to Poe yet this year. They're always great to see.

Here's a past tour of snowdrops put together by Peggy (hope she's well)

Here are my snowdrops, sorry that they are mixed in with the crocus but to get to the snowdrops on their own I would have had to trample on flowers which I didn't want to.

Taken yesterday afternoon 23rd Feb 2015 at Rufford Old Hall an Elizabethan property in Rufford, Lancashire run by the National Trust.

No I didn't know that James, very interesting, something else learnt new today Smile

I did have a photo that I took of some just up the road from here last week, but I've uploaded it to another site then deleted it. So I'll go and get it back from the other place and post it here. Silly me Undecided

Thanks Ruth, 2 lovely pics of snowdrops. Thanks for taking the time to show them. I think the mix of snowdrops and crocuses looks great, and I really like the close-up shot too.
