The Anti-galanthophile League will be asking the BD to hand in his membership card!

.....and the offending clump of snowdrops confiscated, to be distributed to non-members of the Anti-galanthophile League. ;D ;D ;D

Yes, the clump pictured beside Ian and Lily is a clump of  snowflakes.... that's why the text says he's teaching her about the differences........ ::)

No, Jim, that is a very rare and utterly priceless Snow Lily ..... not something you will ever see offered on ebay or anywhere else for that matter ..... a flower as vital to life here as Biscuits  can be elsewhere......




 Mike.... if you think the stare is intimidating, you should see what see can do to a cushion when the postman is at the door.... :o

Are both leaves uniform in size and shape? I think it may be a young bulb flowering for the first time and will improve next year. It is lovely and deserves a place in the garden
