Love the one with the snowdrops and purple crocuses.

Nice that somebody has flowers! You captured the satiny texture of the crocus so well.

 The ground is frozen here BUT the bulbs' leaves are breaking through finally. 
I bought some clearance half-priced bulbs last year that had already bloomed in pots and am wondering if they survived and if they'll bloom ::)

Just stick them in. I put some really knackered daffs in the lane outside my plot a few years ago, and this year, at long last, they've put up a reasonable show. It can only get better.
