I thought you might say that, temperatures are a balmy 10C and the flowers have been open for a couple of weeks. I have other snowdrops yet to appear, I'll report back if I ever find any warmth. The only other flowers open today were eranthis hyemalis and they're cool too. -- David Pilling email: david@pilling.demon.co.uk web: http://www.davidpilling.net/ post: David Pilling, P.O.
