Mosaic Monday: Snowdrops



A few weeks ago, I showed you the first snowdrop blooming here at our Little Red House. Since then, they have been flowering steadily, first the ones that are on the west side of the house in the sunshine, and finally those that face north by our porch door.

It sounds like we have a lot of them, but we really only have a few clumps. Old gardening wisdom will tell you that snowdrops are best planted "in the green" -- that is, dug up immediately after flowering, separated and replanted. I have never questioned that; but I did not know anyone with snowdrops who might give me a few plants. So I planted them one year from bulbs in the fall, and they did fairly well. I don't really have big enough clumps to divide yet, so I will try planting more bulbs in the fall. If I remember... :) If you are interested, here is more information about when and how to plant snowdrops.

I have to tell you that this is the first year that I have actually picked any snowdrops. Normally, I am loathe to take any away from my meager showing, but I wanted to make up a pretty mosaic, so you could see them up close. And laying on the wet ground to shoot them where they grow is something you only do once or twice. :)

So, these snowdrops are for you, my dear bloggers. Happy Spring!

Now let's have some mosaic fun! Here are the instructions:
1. Publish your Mosaic Monday post. The post may be about any subject you wish. The only stipulation is that it include a collage, or mosaic of photos.
2. Once it is published, click on the title of the post. This will lead you to the static link for your post. The static link is the page with only that post on it. Copy the url from your browser at the top of the page.
3. Paste the url into the appropriate inlinkz box in this post.
4. Type your name in the appropriate inlinkz box in this post.
5. Click on "Enter."
6. Please link back to this Mosaic Monday post so that your readers can find other wonderful mosaics.
That's all there is to it! It's always a good idea to then check and see if your link is working. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: mrcarroll(at)optonline

And a quick reminder: if you would like to join Mosaic Monday but don't know quite where to start, there is a tutorial on mosaic-making on my sidebar. Just scroll down, and click on the small blue mosaic.
