Flower arrangements; Snowdrops

For this post I have combined two topics. The colour for today is pale blue and today's flowers are Snowdrops (Galanthus). To me they match beautifully; the fragile shape and colour of Snowdrops together with pale powdery blue tones :)) I have loved Snowdrops since I was a child. My mother often told me how her father yearly used to give her the first Snowdrops he could find on the market. How happy I was when they showed up in my garden some years ago, to me it felt like a gift from my late grandfather :) I normally don't have the heart to pick flowers. But today I have made an exception and picked these five Snowdrops from my garden to share them with you. I hope they will forgive me... Do you long for the spring just as much as I do? Last week the sun was shining over here for a few days on a row and a female blackbird started to make her nest in my garden. But this weekend it was already freezing again and now she seems to realize that it was a bit early to start. Guess I wasn't the only one with spring already on my mind :))This is the oldest Chinese Buddha in my collection. As long as I can remember he had a place in the window-sill at my parental house. Now he lives with me and seems to enjoy the Snowdrops too :) So far this post on pale blue and Snowdrops, I hope you liked it and that spring seems a bit closer now :) If you have a favourite flower or colour you want to see here, feel free to mail me. Have a nice day :))
