Day 203: I don't mind snowflakes in May at all, as long as they're of the Leucojum persuasion! Strongly resembling Snowdrops on steroids, Snowflakes are taller, the flowering stalks rising about a foot from ground level. The foliage is proportionately larger as well. The flowers are not borne as densely as those of Snowdrops, but again, they're bigger. Mine share a pot with the Fritillary Lilies and bloom at approximately the same time. Snowflakes of the other sort...the cold, wet kind...will not find a welcome here in May, but these may come in drifts as deep as they please and will never hear me object.
