  1. Ah! The flowers are back!; and this one is particularly stylish. I learned about crocus as the first to bloom through the melting snow at the end of winter. Of course, I had no idea what snow was, but I figured that it was something important. I thought that crocus were among the most stylish of flowers because they were popular in Philadelphia, which was as unfamiliar to me as snow, but undoubtedly of the most important cities in the World.

    • Here they follow the snowdrops. In England we had snow now and again, but here in Switzerland it is normal in Winter. Although luckily this Winter was no so bad, but if it gets cold during the night it can be that I awake to a snow covered lawn outside.

      • Snowdrops never became popular here. I have never encountered them, although I may ‘eventually’ try a few in the future. What I know as snowdrops are actually snowflake. They should bloom for late spring, but here, they bloom about the same time that snowdrop should bloom. Mine are finishing about now. Some flowers that enjoy winter chill can get confused here.
