They are indeed. I was just looking at nine at the front and got that feeling

On the drive to my dad's there's a whole drift of snowdrops. There must be a thousand. They look glorious with their green and white against brown leaves.

It's so beautiful!

I'm excited to get home, the woods near us are blanketed by snowdrops and it's so magical. I'm going to wander through them in a long ballgown and live out my best tortured romantic souled heroine life. Listen to Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine. Perfect.

It definitely is and it certainly lifts your spirit. It has mine anyway.

I planted about twenty along a border. They all came up the first year but now most come up blind. I had 3 in bloom, but some bastard has nicked one!

That's pure and utterly barbarism or bastardism

As for your crop, not sure why. Mine come up year after year to my delight

I think it's crap soil. More like gravel really, but I put a ball of good soil around each bulb and keep them fed. Not enough, apparently...

I am sure that's it. You can always put them in a pot first and then put that in the ground deep enough so it does not show

No, but it fills with pleasure when I see the dozen or so miniature doubles appear outside near my kitchen door at this time of year.

Inevitably the wind breaks some of their stalks and those end up in a vase indoors while their brothers ans sisters brave the hostile outdoor environment.

Some can be quite brazen

. Perhaps some of the highly fragrant Narcissus could be adopted in future seasons? Some smell like freesias, to my scent buds and are fairly dainty and pretty.
