Little did I know the first flowers to bloom are the Snowdrops. I came across them a few years ago in mid-March, still winter and along a south-facing bank of the Assabet River, there they were – dozens of them. Even before the first sprouting of Skunk Cabbage, these Snowdrops were in bloom. Quite fragile after picking them and they don’t last long in water back home, but they are troopers, blooming even while it’s still snow season.
