Snowdrops

You just don't think of a flowers especially small delicate flowers as surviving a person by 50 years but these little beauties have done just that. My father died 50 years ago on March 2 and he planted these snowdrops at least ten years before that. They haven't received any care or tending. They are on the edge of a bank almost completely overtaken by vines but they are blooming this cold march day despite below freezing temperatures at night and dustings of snow. It makes you wonder.
