If my left ear doesn't tell you what the weather was like for my early morning walk in Duthie Park on Wednesday...
....then this video clip of the brave wee snowdrops who've emerged into the stormy conditions (and perhaps are wishing they were back in the earth) surely will.
Happy Nature Friday! And thank you once again to our dear friends Rosy and Sunny for hosting this our favourite blog hop.
we think that are winddrops... maybe you can catch some to sell them as a world news?
ReplyDeleteThose delicate blooms are stronger than they look.
ReplyDeleteYour blog title is just perfect, Nobby! Hang onto your ears!
ReplyDeleteYour ear is funny. It looks like you lost one of them!

ReplyDeleteWell Nobby, the hoolie that is blowing the Hutch just now may be on its way to keep the lovely wee blooms shaking on their roots! I think they may be a tad early too... another sign that this winter has been far from "normal"... hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
My, that IS a bit breezy! The first time I saw snowdrops, they were blooming in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just north of San Francisco, They have since held my imagination.
ReplyDeletewe know how hard the wind is blowing, when we see it blowing about the vegetation close to the ground. the snowdrops seem to be hardy and standing up well to the gale and the Gail. ha ha we have a hoolie, new word for me, headed for us on Sunday. about the ear, I hope it is still attached. that is some fierce wind.
ReplyDeleteGoodness Nobby that is some strong wind. I hope the snowdrops will survive.
ReplyDeleteWe have daffodils popping up everywhere not blooming yet. Probably soon.
the red blooms in my header are from our Ruby Red Camellia. It is full of blooms but February is it's normal blooming time.
Hugs Cecilia
That sure was windy! We're glad you didn't blow away, Nobby.
ReplyDeleteYou need to get some lead in your boots Nobby.
ReplyDeleteWe like the picture of you among the snow drops Nobby! Mama told us she saw some snow drops at our botanical gardens this weekend too!

I love snowdrops! They are so pretty, coming up first each spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wind you have there! Don't get blown away!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here! We have those in our yard too! Happy spring, friend!
ReplyDeleteSnow drops are falling on your head.
ReplyDeleteOh, the poor little snowdrops, they really are being blown about.
ReplyDeleteIt's 10ÂșC at the moment, which is very cold for us, but I don't think they will grow here. Carol says they are a much loved winter flower in the UK, as they herald the first signs of spring.
Love,

Happy belated birthday. We would like a birthday haggis! That is a very windy day. We hope the weather is nicer soon. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteThose brave little snowdrops don't look very happy in the cold wind. We have some mild weather here, but no flowers yet.
ReplyDeleteIt looks crazy breezy there! It is still winter, so we should expect the cold breezes, but we feel sorry for the snowdrops....and we hope both you and Gail are bundled up from the cold!
