My Tan Fades
Yesterday, it was 54 degrees, with green grass, and today... well, it IS January in Iowa. I took a snowdrop progress photo, shown below, before the snow started flying. The clasping, grayish-green leaves, typical of Galanthus elwesii, are now opening, revealing the white flower buds (the leaves of Galanthus nivalis, the later-blooming, European snowdrop, are greener, and more strap-like, looking like a tiny daffodil).

I never paid attention to how the leaves on snowdrops came up. I will have to take notes this spring as the bulk of my snowdrops came from an abandoned planting.
