I love the slightly untidy arrangement of the flowers - looks like one of my flower arrangements!

I chanced across a new snowdrop book to be published mid-year called 'Snowdrop (Botanical)' according to Amazon and written by Gail Harland http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1780234929?redirect=true&ref_=s9_wsim_co_p14_d99_i3

This book would seem to cover a lot about snowdrops in art.  I don't know forumist Gail's last name but I wonder if this is her book?

It is forumist Gail    - a book to look out for - or pre-order! (Via the Amazon link on the SRGC pages, of course, to benefit the Club!   )
