Snowdrops, hellebores, and melting flakes of the white stuff

Snowdrops, hellebores, and melting flakes of the white stuff

The snow has arrived here, though it doesn’t look as though it will make anything other than a fleeting impact upon the garden; tiny, delicate flakes, drifting about playfully on the air currents that whirl and eddy around the house. So much energy expended in the dance that, by the time a flake has landed upon leaf, petal or stem, or even by some miracle fulfilled its destiny and made it to the ground, it melts in an instant, often hanging as if momentarily startled by its transformed state before rolling down towards the soil. And still the whitest things in the beds are the snowdrops, and certain of the hellebores. I will take these, and the pretty, evanescent snow, and call it a win.
