McQueen was a bit of a genius - beautiful dress. Just the job for attending a snowdrop scrum too.

Looks a bit old fashioned to me but then, I'm no fashionista ::)

I've just got the 2017 programme for the Mid-Anglia Group of the Alpine Garden Society.  The talk scheduled for Sunday 12th February is
Meetings are held in Birdbrook, Essex and I thought that anybody nearby with an interest in snowdrops in art might wish to attend.  I'm not sure about the protocol for guest entry but if anyone is interested send me a PM and I will find out.
Excellent talk by Eddie Roberts on snowdrops in painting yesterday at the AGS; he showed a wide selection of paintings including several I had not come across before - I now have to fit in a trip to the Walsall art gallery to see the snowdrops by Vincent van Gogh (http://thenewartgallerywalsall.org.uk/collections/?creator=van-gogh-vincent )

Following  an appearance on TV programme, the Beechgrove Garden - Helen Rushton has posted this on Facebook  :

"Bruckhills Croft - An Open Garden in Scotland

Inspired by the appearance of the garden's snowdrops on Beechgrove Garden, talented local artist Patricia Ware has produced this delicately carved egg painted with watercolours - isn't it gorgeous? "
