Snowdrops: Messengers of Spring
Everything is super dry in the forest but the snopdrops managed to make it regardless. This bee was very happy about them.

I saw a bee with orange pollen so I investigated the flowers. I found a bee on the snowdrops but the pollen is yellow!
Spring is happening. #Snowdrops

A little glimpse of spring for you #bloomscrolling #spring #snowdrops #SpringIsInTheAir
This day exploded with snowdrops, bees, insects, and the first Red Admirable butterfly (Vanessa atalanta). Since my early childhood, it's my ritual to fill the first seen #flowers after winter into this vase. The snowdrops in our village date from the 1920s. A wonderful scent, the bees are powdered with pollen! If it's too cold, snowdrops are self-pollinators.
What a day here in SW #Connecticut
No power at daylight.
Trees down.
Firece wind storm.
Yard full of water (and ice)
Branches & garbage cans everywhere
But . . .
Here are #Snowdrops
#Galanthus 2 weeks behind 2024
Signs of #Daffodils too
And there were #AmericanCoots
And #Mergansers on the pond today
