Wonderful crocus pics. Mine are just leaves poking up from the ground just now but they are in flower near where I work (about a mile away). I do have some snowdrops out, but I only planted them last year so each one just has one flower.

My hippeastrum just has a 1" high leaf tip sticking out and the first sign of a second leaf, even though it is indoors. That's because I didn't bring it out of the garage (which is where I leave it for a dormant period) until late.

Spring is here too even though it's still quite cold! Snowdrops have been in full bloom for over a week, and the crocuses are almost all blooming too in massive colorful carpets. The very first daffodils are opening today as well. I'm going to try to get up to the university's botanical garden tomorrow to see what's going on over there!

Hey guys, so I got a little ansy and couldn't take the cabin fever no more. I went to the local forest and the only thing in bloom besides the skunk cabbage were these snow drops!
Really pretty little alien.
Looks like Galanthus elwesii a common Turkish species used as an ornamental that's exported at the rate of about 30 million a year.
I hear they are threatened in their native range, maybe I should send these back?
