Whenever I see Katherine, I know it is almost time for the snowdrop walk in Fife. I don't grow the lovely Iris, but she pops up on a few friend's pages on here, and is the very first sign of the impending end of winter. :)

I havent seen this variety but i have seen others flowering indoors though!!! i love the patterns on this one meanie

the snowdrop walk in devon is struggling karen ~ should open in about a week but the heavy snow and rain has devastated the area, trees are down and paths unsafe
