Snowdrops

Snowdrops, Galanthus nivalis,  in my back garden in Hayes.

I planted some of these a few years ago, and they are the first flowers of the new year in my garden.  There are places in this area where they grow wild in profusion.  I saw this at Knockholt last year in mid-February.  Perhaps these are a little earlier because it is always a little warmer in conurbations.
