I've also given up trying to explain to others in my office why its not madness being so enthusiastic about snowdrops when all the Philistines see is little white blobs.

Its good to find fellowship here!!!!

croopied   ???
According to the 'new urban dictionary' - Croopy means a man with a permanently floppy 'you know what'!   :-[ ::)

There is nothing wrong with a permanently floppy hat anyway, Mike ...   :D

Very nice, Emma.  If only that last one had some eyes it could be a man with a hat and a moustache.

very good Michael.

For some reason I am sitting here looking at it and keep thinking of an SRGC member - it must be that I have woken up far too early again (it is probably the excitement of going up to Norfolk for the weekend to look at snowdrops with Brian  ;D  8)). 

Does anyone else see Hagen?....

Morning John, the magic mirror is the best. How many bulbs do you have? Already one for swap? I have a few others with my pic, but only half as good as yours. ;D

Emma, really nice flowers.
