The Ultimate Snowdrop Sale, Myddleton House 2015

[Blonde Ingrid]

I thought Emma surprisingly reluctant

Emma did not look terribly reluctant when I saw her later in the sale, when she has armfuls of snowdrops

I managed to get a rare shot of David, the man behind the camera.

My that is a fine shot and rare as a green platyphyllus.

The price of that will be high!

 I read that as a  " green platypus "   and wondered what on earth  that meant ..... ( it's been a long day!)

I thought it better not to mention that in case of retaliation

Great fun to see all these pictures, and the video! We arrived a bit late after missing the turn, along with a friend who had not been before. Stiil a lot of interesting snowdrops to tempt us... (Heffalump, Brian Mathew, Lapwing, Kildare...) Here is a picture of the calm after the storm. It's also enjoyable to wander around the garden after the sale, though I'm thinking what a wonderful rock garden could emerge from £50000 - roll on 2065! There is a good walk too for the dog between Myddelton and Fortey Hall just down the road. A nice day to bring all the pictures of snowdrops on this Forum to life!
