It'll be even more quiet later, John.... when the rugby begins!
Just been having a look in the garden.... not that there is much to see.... still lots of snow. Some funny flat patches about........ Lily likes to roll in the snow!

Well, not me.  Those pocs belong to a professional gardener who also runs
a small home-based nursery.

I do have three clones that I found at my grandparents'.

There are only a few of us here who are crazy about snowdrops - not enough
to make any of us rich.

Last year at a Hellebore Day at a public garden, we also sold Cyclamen coum
in flower (all sold), some potted elwesii from a wholesaler (four per pot for $3 -
half sold), and pots of flowering  Scharlockii, Lady Beatrix Stanley, and Magnet,
one per pot for $4.  Only seven pots sold.

Was hoping to go to the first snowdrop festival at Brodsworth Hall near Doncaster today but it has been cancelled. Have not been to the garden for a few years but they have apparently planted half a million snowdrops in the last few years. they had ordered 20,000 from Cambo for kids to plant there over half term but Cambo have not been able to dig them up.

I have a few pictures from my Gloucestershire visit on 31st Jan. Coulesbourne have had to cancel again this weekend because of the state of the car park (= field). It is a shame for the charities who run the tea room. If any one gets there later I can recommend the pineapple cake!

Hi Vivien

photo 32 is so funny!   ;D

I didn't get to Colesbourne this year but have been the last few years.

Painswick (I am guessing the Rococo garden) is a place I have never been - so thank you very much for the photographs.

Oh Brian, yes it could be seen all over the country at the moment but it (may?) must be a SRGC forum member! I believe, we are the champions (Queen). ;D

Might have known it David!

Lovely to meet several forumists at the Gala, and I did see Mark Smyth across a very crowded plant sale too.
