You guys are really making me jealous  . Up here in Aviemore, I've only seen a couple of bedraggled Snowdrops in a garden this year, and they've been covered in snow of up to 20 inches for over a week. 
Even though the snow is slowly melting, it's still about 8 inches deep in places, so I'm not going to see any flowers for a while yet.  |

the green hellebore won't be up for ages. I only saw it at beginning of April last year. the stinking hellebore is the winter flowerer. This cold will hold them back even longer.
e.g. ACONITES |
