That's a truly magnificent job you have done there, Brian.

In case anybody finds there way here looking for snowdrop pictures, I think it's also worth giving links to other online snowdrop picture repositories, of which the best are:

http://www.judyssnowdrops.co.uk/Plant_Profiles/plant_profiles.htm maintained by Janet Lecore
http://www.snowdropinfo.com/galanthusgallery.htm maintained by our own Mark Smyth

Almost in Scotland.

And - it must be said - a search for snowdrop pix here in the forum ( as indeed for so many other plants  8) )   will generate more results than you might imagine - nearly all the phoots used by Brian in his excellent compilation work have been drawn from the forum - the Galanthus area here is really second  to none................ :)

Thank you for all that precious time in producing the compilation Brian.

A web site which I use a lot to see what a drop looks like is http://www.galanthus-online.de/

Super!

Thank you Brian!

Here on the fringes of the white fever I do not have a chance to see them in nature. So the more pictures the better.

He may be missing it but he is in it!

Thank you all for your kind comments, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it (better than gardening on a dank day), if I can get the use of some photos of those not appearing would happily add them.  I learned a bit too, I'd not come across Michael Holecroft and will definitely now look out for it.

A Pocket Guide to Distinctive Snowdrops certainly has a ring to it and would be very useful.

Thanks again, Brian.
