I am not sure what the weather was like at the beginning of February as I was enjoying warm sunshine in South Africa. However, just a couple of days after I arrived home the snow came back. Luckily most of the flowers that appear in winter do not mind a bit of cold weather. Snowdrops, small irises and hellebores are all quite happy to disappear under a coating of snow for a short while.
