First snowdrop?

It's great to see what's coming up isn't it and hopefully things won't be killed off by a late winter in the next month or two. Have you ever tried growing frittilaria bulbs? I did some years back - most beautiful delicate flowers. Some pictures are a bit misleading as like a snowdrop only one flower arrives on each bulb (albeit you could crowd them, though jolly expensive). I recall they became a protected species at one point so not even sure if you could get them now and of course too late for this year. Crocus time soon.

I expect it'll be a delightfully fragrant spring this year have had such a mild winter thus far. Farmers are very happy at the lush greenness of their fields for this time of year.
