| Crocus chyrsanthus 'Princess Beatrix' |
The Galanthus is in full bloom and has been been blooming for nearly a month now.
That's all I've got. To see more blooms, visit the hostess of Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, Carol, at May Dreams Gardens. Also, check out today's post at Beautiful Wildlife Garden, where I offer tips for getting along with wildlife.

These are big blooms trapped in a small blooms body! A delightful sight for the beginning of a great gardening season.
Your galanthus are doing beautifully! Mine hated the heavy soil here I think, and died a little every year til now they're gone. Still waiting for the first crocus and hellebores in tundraland CT...
Small is good... but I like Darla's comment best. I love the new spring welcomed by crocus. So pretty. Happy GBBD
Isn't it exciting to see these first small blooms of spring? I finally have two--yes, just two!--snowdrops blooming, and I was thrilled. They're a good sign that spring will be here soon.
I don't have much more than this MrMcD. Isn't it fun to go out there and see a few teasing glimpses of spring. Bring it on.
One of these days I really should invest in some snowdrops! The crocus are nice too!
It's a start! Spring in all its glory is marching your way.
Woops, I'm not anonymous, just in haste to get to the next blog.
The first most anticipated bloom is always the best.
How wonderful that spring is beginning to show its face there! Happy Bloom Day!
I planted more snowdrops last year. I can't wait to see them in the spring.
Small blooms are lovely.
that is a great patch of snowdrops!
Princess Beatrix is a beauty! Happy GBBD!
Love the photo of the crocus. It looks like it comes already gift-wrapped in tissue paper.
I believe that all those lovely gardeners that live in the Midwest are the ones that really really appreciate seeing crocus coming up in the spring! Seeing a crocus after going through a winter's storm is a lot more exciting than seeing flowers bloom all year round. Hip Hip Hooray for the Midwest gardener!!
Pretty, pretty, pretty! Hurry up, spring.
Happy bloom day! I think it will be a couple more weeks before my Crocuses bloom, but the Hellebores are emerging! Oh happy day!
Oh how I miss the snowdrop. Seeing these blooming is food for my soul.
What a beautiful shot of the crocus, it catches the papery quality of the petals perfectly. I dream of clumps of snowdrops like that - we are still at the scattered grouping stage.
Wow! A great sight.:) Can't wait . ( Still almost all white , here - just west of the N. Catskills)
If any of y'all have sizable clumps, don't be afraid to dig a few , pot 'em , & bring 'em in. A 4" pot, here & there, along with being cheerful, is enough to bring the scent in. When they go back in the ground,later, they'll continue as nothing happened. ( next year's bloom)
Happy Spring! :) ( almost)

Btw, I found this , when I ran across your post about 'Carousel' Little Bluestem . A D'oh! - why-didn't-I-think-of-thatmoment. I grew some of the straight species from seed, a few years ago. Some fit the description of 'Carousel'. Sold 'em, not knowing that they were anything special. :(
Happy Spring! I know you are having the best time now that the weather has warmed up! The crocus shot is beautiful~I love how they glow in the light~gail
Hi MMD! A few days ago there was one of the teeny bloom-in-the-grass crocus and two days ago a snowdrop. I moved it last year, as I'd originally planted several. Hopefully it will hang in there until I plant more this Fall. ;-) What is the mulch they're growing through? I put so many leaves on things in the Fall that I must rake off the top layer early!
Lovely little photos! Those are all I have blooming here, too.
Small wonders are just the best, aren't they? The cool weather the past few days has put the pause on anything else emerging from the garden, but the snow is still melting merrily away here. And I wish to send you a squirrel. I really don't want him. Honest. :-)
It's good to see your garden slowly emerging from its deep winter sleep. Love snowdrops, they are so dainty and elegant but sturdy as old boots. Crocus for some reason always make me laugh, maybe it's because they are so prim & proper and come in such lovely heartwarming colors.
Chez Bliss we've gone bananas. What else is new?
Have a gr8 weekend!
i'm a texan, so i am not really sure, but are the galanthus also refered to as "snow lillies"?
Your crocus photo is truly phenomenal. Keep it up!
