Dianne, I know what you mean about the "fragrance" of paperwhites- at first it seems nice, then it kinda starts putting me in mind of cat pee, LOL. Odd thing about Winter Aconites, when I've ordered them, they didn't do very much, but these that I've been moving around the garden came from a friend as a tag along with another plant he had given me. Those in the pic above are in the lawn, where I thought I had moved all of them out last year. Obviously I missed a few! And I do see seedlings all around them too. I see 2 species offered commonly, so I think I've had both, I just don't know which is which.
The Snowdrops are on the way :-)
Tulips are breaking ground! This morning there's a light layer of snow again....oh goodie! LOL
