Why these lovely flowers are called “Glories of the Snow” (Chionodoxa) I don’t know. Mine never come up while there’s still snow on the ground. Nope … they tend to come up somewhere between the beginning of April and the end of the April depending how warm a spring we’re having.
This year they came up in early April and due to a mostly dry month I believe they’re already starting to die down a bit. We did have some rain yesterday (wind storm prior to it was like a mini-tornado!) and we’re expecting more today, so maybe the lovely little flowers will last for a while longer.
In this photo I love how the green plant leaves are swirling around the flowers. I took this photo from a different angle than I normally do when I photograph these short stemmed flowers. I also like how the bent over tulip bud adds a punch of color to the background.
