While you are enjoying these glorious pictures of this stunning blue flower I will be eating a slice of humble pie.
Yesterday I asked for some help in identifying this flower and a friend who had clearly done some research told me it was Turkish Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa Forbesii). My first reaction was that I was not convinced but I now know that that is what it is, and now so do you.
I will also publicly say thank you to Jacky for doing the research and helping me out.
It has become a bit of a tradition for me now to head out each winter to visit one of the nearby National Trust properties to see the early spread of Snowdrops.
This year I went to Chirk, which as you will know is one of my favourite places to visit and where they have a lovely woodland walk with a mass of Snowdrops.
Over the next few days I will be posting some of the pictures I took recently. Mostly they will be like today of the different varieties of Snowdrop but also some of the other plants and blossoms which hint at the approach of spring.
I hope you enjoy today's pictures, I like the dew on the individual bloom and I love the carpet of flowers and the way they catch the morning light, let me know what you think.
