Galanthus elwesii in bloom!

not counting peshemnii and reginae-olgae I have early snowdrops flowering
too. Looking good are G. elwesii Hiemalis Group and plicatus 'Three Ships'.
The latter normally looks good for Christmas and the new year.
I have other winter/spring plants getting things wrong. I have the following
in flower
Primrose - P. vulgaris
Cowslip - P. veris
Pulsatilla - P. vulgaris
Ranunculus ficaria all in fully leaf and some flowering.
Daphne - D. bohlua 'J. Postill'
creeping Phlox -

The first Galanthus elwesii have appeared on the front lawn, a bit earlier
than usual.

Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, USDA zone 7, where we have had a killing
freeze yet gardens are still full of interesting flowering odds and ends.
