Galanthus

I have been growing Snowdrops for a few years now, but fortunately I started very young, and so have managed to build up some immunity to the serious dangers of Galanthophilia. Partial immunity anyway. There is a lot more to come here, but this is a start.

2007 During last year I continued the process of planting my old pot bound plants out into the woodland. They all seem to be benefiting from the change. On this page, I have added a few pictures of new cultivars to the collection. I generally think that I have stopped adding new varieties, but as I write this, 2008 is still three weeks away, and I have three new ones in pots waiting to be planted out! Perhaps I'm not as immune as I like to think!
