snowdrops in the news.

This long, slow winter has delayed and lengthened the snowdrop season, which is great for snowdrop lovers and may encourage others to look again at this unassuming yet fabulously pretty flower.


They have them beneath a 200-year-old, curvy armed walnut tree mixed in sweeps with aconites and the first of the primroses; they have carpets of simple Galanthus nivalis and G. elwesii merging with clumps of celandine and narcissus in their woodland garden.

 

The snowdrops look lovely all dotted along the edge of the garden at home, and in the park today I saw how they are melodiously melted in among the burgeoning crocuses. At one point a grey squirrel crept up and started nibbling the shoots. No doubt I'm supposed to disapprove of this but in actual fact it made my day.

 

I really don't blame you. I love spring
