Snowdrops in the Snow

Here they are! The first buds of the 2012 Bloom

Season! These are snowdrops. They are ready to

open. They kick off the bloom season here on Long Island. Before the crocus bloom these little gems open, many times right through the snow.

I went out and brought in some fresh leaf mulch and put in the pot where my Kiffar Lilies from Changchun, CHINA are growing. We are hoping for blooms on this beautiful plant from Lucy's city, given to us from her family. It is the official flower of Changchun, the garden like city. Inside and outside there is new birth taking place.
