And yet they also look good next to the deep pinks, like in your emerging sedum.<BR/><BR/>Are those first, double snowdrops 'Flore Pleno' by chance? If so, do they stay relatively short for you? I ask because this is my first year with them, and I was surprised by how low-to-the-ground these are.

Every day is full of discoveries. I still have crocus in bloom here, and the front garden is a sea of blue--Siberian squill and chionodoxas--that will soon be joined by the white blooms of bloodroot and Dutchman's breeches, and finally by daffodils.

Spring is a joyful time of year. You can feel the sun warm the bones as well as the soil. I never tire of looking at snowdrops. Your doubles are really pretty. I must remember to plant some of those fancier varieties this fall. Did I just mention fall? UGH...
