And several of the trees... (the last one would make a great climb!)

And finally the entrance to Ospringe Church and house where I would like to develop a garden, given half a chance!

What delightful places to visit Tim, thanks for showing us.

Does this snowdrop have a name or is a species ?  It was probably bought at a member's plant sale 15 years ago.

lovely day but not much time to take pics so only a few.

Diggory (much admired in the sun today)
Sharlockii - look odd & all spathe when they clump up
Richard Ayres - a real whopper!

What a lovely shape the flowers are on Ron Mack.

I once got ticked off by someone for calling him Ron

What camera do you use John?

It really picks out the detail within the whiteness of the snowdrops.

My camera always leaves me disappointed, though it is only a point & shoot.

Hi Mike

It is not that special - it is a "cross-over" from a few years back called Fuji Finepix HS10 - I went for this one as my previous point and shoot has an earlier model.  For the first snowdrop season all the pics I took were really crap and I kept going back to my old camera.  But a year of practice and I can now get a decent picture.  I usually take about 6 of each flower and hope that one turns out OK.

Lovely pics Mr King - Some of those pots of desirables look familiar. 

Tim - great pictures of the woodland - I remember how I enjoyed a walk there on your recommendation a couple of years back.

Tom, its a plicatus but other than that I wouldn't be sure which it is

Thank you Brian for exacts name's of snowdrops. The label of PL PHD 33643 does not have the PHD, so will ask about
it from the man who I bought it from. I will correct my label from Llo 'n' Green and make notes of finders.

Thank you John for link to other picture of 'Norfolk Blonde'. Will do my best this year to get a 'Norfolk Blonde'.

Great pictures David, und such a clump of 'Trumps'......amazing  . Must be a easy grower......

Also your 'Angelina' and 'Ronald Mckenzie' are looking wonderfull !!

Your 'Glen Norma' seems to have very large flowers. Never heared of this one before and is now on my
( to long already) wish list.

Tim,

If I did the measurement correctly, the flower of 'Walker Canada' is 3.2 cm. The flower of Pl PHD (  ) 33643 is even a little larger', 3.5 cm. I also grow 'Pat Mason', think those flowers will be even larger. Will try to measure them tomorrow, when I come home from work.

Blakenham Woodland Garden near us was open for a Snowdrop Day on Sunday. It was a lovely sunny morning and their snowdrops are doing really well; mostly single/double nivalis but a few unnamed cultivars, nice elwesiis etc. They also have a lovely big patch of aconites, Leucojum vernum, hellebores and a hyperactive muntjac that didn't appreciate the influx of visitors!

Just arrived home after a short week SCOTLAND, one of my favorite country's, i had to visit one of my favorite woodlands.
A 3 leaved elwesii and some other elwesii and a nice striped clump nivalis.
