As on your property, our snow drops and daffodils have been there for at least fifty years. My grandmother always called ours snow drops, however, after doing some research, she may stand to be corrected. They may actually be Summer Snowflakes, or Leucojum aestivum. According to horticulturist, Felder Rushing, from Mississippi, snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) grow in the upper South and they usually have just one flower per stalk. The summer snowflakes have two or three flowers and they bloom in the spring, despite the name. Thanks for stopping by my blog, and please take a moment and join the website. I send a quarterly newsletter to members. Also, I tried to check in with your blog and was sent to blogspot.org. Would love to visit yours if you send me the link. Anne Thank you, Marnie!

I have been here for over thirty years, and they have always bloomed, but this year they were quite late. Do you know the name of this particular snowdrop? Lovely blog! Kind regards, Marnie Anne,

With weather colder in Alabama than here on the coast, how many weeks do you think we're behind ? Keep the daffodil field progression ! Anne,
