Yesterday we visited Olive Mason's garden in Worcestershire. The garden was open under the NGS scheme for the last 2 days. Olive is a friend and a long time galanthophile with a collection a great many hybrids and species and is also an excellent all round plantswoman with lots of other interesting plants to give interest and structure throughout the season. I took a few shots but spent most of the time talking to friends. Here are a few photos from the visit

There was one Snowdrop called "Nothing Special" - a lie if ever I heard one - it was rather nice. She also had a seedling which had 6 outers and was large enough to see from space a real biggie. Perhaps it might be Mr Thompson  ::)

For those of you that like the Trymm types she had rather a lot of seedlings and I show a picture of part of the drift.

Ian

great pics - I agree that 'nothing special' is in fact 'special'  I have 3 flowers on my little clump of it and it is one that I am really enjoying this week.

And all those little tryms - wonderful.   ;D

Regards

The weather looks like it will be good all day. In fact the weekend is to be good and days I need to be at home to photograph my beauties

The more the merrier..... just hope there is enough soup......... ???

I hope quite a few are giving thought to the opportunity to buy one of the lovely paintings by Lawrence Greenwood or Keith Brockie which are up for auction..... 8)

 We call that Vegetable Soup, Anthony.... saves time and printing ink on the menus, too  ;)


 Ian says he's game for the shredded root ginger in the sweet potato, red pepper and coconut soup, by the way.
