February 25th. That’s the earliest snowdrop this year amongst my usually fearless few.
In other years, I’ve had snowdrops as early as January 1st. To have the first appear near the beginning of March is a sign of our unusually cold winter, 2008/9.
This one appears particularly feeble. But let’s take what we can get.

The most human looking snowdrop I ever did see. He looks so nervous, like he’s afraid to come out. Cutie pie, though. Welcome, even if you did take your sweet time, buster!

masterok,
You can order snowdrops from most bulb catalogs. The proper name is Galanthus nivalis.
Here is a UK supplier, for instance:
