Snowdrops and Views

Stunning views Hywel, such a lovely place there, I do love seeing wild flowers like that, excellent :-)

Wonderful photos, Hywel ..

I'm convinced 'Visit Wales' should get you to do all their photography. Thanks for sharing your views and the wonderful plants growing there.

Thank you all :o)

Yes there is some pretty scenery around here. It's a pitty I take it for granted sometimes lol

Homebird we did have a dusting of snow this morning, although it wasn't forecast. I'm glad to say it has cleared now. It's bitterly cold though.

best way to see snowdrops I think ! Smashing photo set.

A very welcome blog Hywel, stunning photographs, it must be lovely seeing all the snowdrops growing so naturally like that.

I just noticed the ad at the side is for native snowdrops.....

Wonderful place Hywel....Snowdrops are beautiful...:>)

Thank you both for reading my blog :o)

A very cheery blog Hywel. What wonderful scenery you have around you! The snowdrops are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Love the snowdrops and scenery.

Thank you Rose and Little things :o)

Great blog Hywel :0)

Thank you :o)

Lovely blog Hywel, certainly up to standard! I remember seeing the wild snowdrops down your way years ago when I used to visit the area with work. It makes mine look rather pathetic, altho they are growing each year.
I am longing for some warmer weather; at least I can play in the greenhouse sometimes. Our English and Scottish friends are suffering a lot more, I fear..

You have a bard's passion for nature and an eagle's eye for detail, Hywel.
Superb!

Lovely photos, Hywel! The views are beautiful and the snowdrops are so lovely. Isn't it wonderful to see them thriving in the wild?

Thank you all for reading my blog.

Nice to see you again Rachelsmum :o)
I wish it would get warmer too. Cold weather makes me feel depressed. I even preffer rain to this.

Hi Mouldy. Welcome to GoY :o)
Thanks for your comment ...

Thank you Melchisedec. I always think snowdrops look prettier in the hedgerows than in a garden :o)

I think that I and doggie would enjoy a walk around your area...
Lovely, lovely pics.

Thanks. I'm pleased you liked my blog :o)

Carreg Cennen : Always loved this place. Remember crawling along a narrow tunnel to the underground well. Walked from near Sennybridge and viewed Llyn-y-Fan fawr and Fach that day. Miss the views of the Brecon Beacons from my family home.

The images of the snowdrops are beautiful. Have you ever seen any "pink" ones? My old neighbour used to have some and a few "escaped". Don't know why they referred to them as "pink": I always thought they looked grubby; much prefer the white ones.

Thank you Eirlys.
I've never heard of pink snowdrops. I'd like to see some.

Haven't seen any around for years.

I can tell you how to "create" a pink snowdrop, Hywel. Place a cut bunch in water tinged with red ink. I recall being shown this experiment at my primaryschool. It's a good way of showing capillary action.

That's interesting :o)

Fantastic! What a beautiful area you live in! Must be great for walks. Lovely photgraphs.

Thank you :o)

Breathtaking Hywel:-))

Thank you :o)

I don't know how I missed this blog of yours, Hywel? Anyway you have some marvellous drifts of Snowdrops in Wales! I've seen lots growing wild around here but nothing I know of can compete with some of those drifts!

I got some for my balcony this year. A lady from the allotments field gave me some double ones. They flowered for a couple of weeks & now I hope they will come back next year.

Thank you. I hope your double snowdrops come back next year. I planted some a few years ago, but they haven't flowered yet .... just leaves.

I hope they will come back again as well! They are looking very healthy at present! As does the Hellebore from the same lady which I put in the same pot. :-))
