Galanthus - Chionodoxa - landart projekt: Portraits from Katharina von Bora and Martin Luther in the roses-garden of castle Hartenfels Torgau Saxonia.

In august 2016 we planted several thousands of Galanthus nivalis and Chionodoxa bulbs in the lawn of the roses-garden Torgau/Saxonia near Castle Hartenfels in the forms of the portraits of Martin Luther and his wife Katharina von Bora.this landart - projekt flowered from february till april 2017 during the 500. years jubiläum of the reformation of Martin Luther.
Next year in spring the portraits will flower stronger again!

That's lovely, we have been planting circles with snowdrops, and a snowdrop pathway, in
a grassed raised ridge next to a stream, I have really enjoyed doing it.  Your rose looks
lovely.

A friend (lurker) asked me to post these for your delectation, the first is a little lantern made by Hannah Nunn in Yorkshire the second seem to be rather nice tags.

Thanks Maggi, I was in a rush to get out in the garden and hadn't looked at the post!

The first lady of snowdrop nail art was at Shaftesbury ..... Christine Moles- how I'd love to meet her....

I am reliably informed that she has given in and is having her nails done tomorrow ready for her appearance at the AGS etc.  Hopefully someone will post pictures as we won't see her until Sunday.

Lo and behold!  The nail lady has had her baby but these were done by one of the others.  Christine told me that she thought she had better have them done for Maggi!!

Look out for her on Saturday at the AGS.

How wonderful!   The sight of these snowdrop nails is  truly one of the highlights on my 'drops season.   It must make life more fun for Ms Mole and her chums too, I'm sure!

Well done  Christine - and your second clever nail artist!! 8) 8)
