| A nearby allotment plot had beautiful daffs already flowering a couple of days ago, went past them today & they're all fallen over, lookin very sorry for themselves My greenhouse thermometer recorded -9c last night though, so not surprised they can't cope!

| They'll be fine. They'll stand up again with the thaw.

| I have hellebores outside my kitchen window, I use them as my 'frostOmeter' if their heads are right down to the ground brurrrrr, half way down -not to brurrrr and so on. they will all bounce back- take a look at the end of today if you can! Please don't worry. |

| My hellebores and daffs looked sad too, we've had some terrible frosts over the last few nights. All the flowers stood up fine by lunchtime. Please don't worry... |

| Slightly changing the subject (but sticking to snowdrops!), I went to the Rococo Gardens at Painswick last week - absolutely stunning and definitely worth a visit if you can get there Skotch

| What's that? Piskie's 'Snowdrop' has collapsed & your thingies have gone all droopy Jana? My snowdrops are practically over now as they came out very early & the hellebores are looking a bit sad in the cold but I'm sure they'll perk up a bit when it warms up again.
