We are loving seeing the first snowdrops, Galanthus, appear.  This bulbous perennial appears when little else is flowering and reminds us of the days are getting longer and spring is just around the corner. They generally flower from January to March, although you may be lucky enough to spot a few in Cornwall in December.

There are a few good visits to go to in Cornwall to see an abundance; Cotehele (Saltash), Pinetum Gardens (St. Austell), Trelissick (Truro), Lanhydrock (Bodmin), St. Nectars Glen,
