Snowdrops or Snowflakes?

As many of  my regular readers would know

I've been a bit preoccupied

with a sickie these past few weeks

I must tell you that my Dh is well and truly recovered now 

and back to his normal self

His liver enzymes are almost back to 'normal range'

and he's definitely back to living life the way he used to.

If the 18 holes of golf he played last Friday

'with no effort on his part' he said

is anything to go by then he's back to his normal self lol

Thank you so much to everyone who asked about him

on the blog, in person or by email

Thank you so much for your concern

I really appreciated it

especially when many of those thoughts came from total strangers

So I am also back to keeping in touch with some of the things

that went by the wayside during those weeks

Pottering round the garden was one of them

So you can imagine my surprise and 'joy'

at seeing these little flowers down by the cat pen

They are some of the bulbs I mentioned in the Viburnum post

and often I don't notice them blooming

So here are what I call Snowdrops in my garden

Although it seems they are actually called 

Snowflakes (Leucojum aestivum)

but what the heck - they look like Snowdrops

I love them no matter what.

Just in front of the Vibunum

with Day Lilies on their right and Ixias on their left

The strappy leaves behind are some Iris Japonica (The Fairy)

which has little white flowers with a streakof purple like Dietes

and right in the front is a clump of grass

that I didn't have the sense to pull out

before I took the photo lol

click on the photos and they will enlarge

See the lovely green dot markings

Two on the same stem and another about to pop out
