That's interesting. Actually the next day I found a snowdrop with a bud. I can't say that is usual for me and I am not sure which species it is. I only planted the usual types
I do like having winter blooms. It is a bit of a fun challenge for me. Right now I have winter Jasmine blooming and Hellebore 'Prelude' in bud. When you are still raking the fall leaves and the next season blooms are already starting, it makes for a short winter.
