Schneeglöckchentage in Nettetal - spot the Forumists!

All this talk of hats - something must have gone to your heads?!!

I love the picture of the little snowdroppy corner of the garden with the log steps.
I have just printed it out along with a picture of John Gennard's beautiful bulb meadow, to give me inspiration.
My problem is that I spend too much time looking and thinking and never get round to actually doing anything
so my garden is 90% jungle.

 But, Vivien, surely you must have heard that  a greater part of the jungles of the world are at threat? You are doing your bit for conservation.... look at it positively!

Lovely photo, John.... I nearly forgot that you do more for jungles than Sting!

Whoops... meant to say that yours was worth conserving, John!

Maggi, my jungle of brambles  and bluebells  is threatened on a regular basis in very strong language

valuable wildlife cover  and food source, Vivien, you're still on a winner!

Lovely garden John, must be very peaceful if you ever get a chance to just sit and enjoy it!

the concrete bench on the left of the picture is overlooking a small koi pond - that was our place to sit with a glass of something when there was a spare 10 mins.

Wonderful garden John, do you have to wrap it up in winter or are those large leaved beauties hardy in your area 

I've had weather damage this year to borderline stuff, so I'm pleased that snowdrops are hardy 

[Anthony Darby]

Nice to see Bagheera at home in your jungle John. Does he still argue with Baloo over how to look after Kent 'Mowgli' Gardener? Look out for Shere Khan though. Get the impression from the pic that Kent is subtropical?

Hi,
I'm a bit late...
It was a wonderful meeting and I enjoyed that day!

Many "group" pictures have been already posted. I'll add one. 

And I'll post pictures of a few Galanthus beauties in the show garden.
I'm not a "Galanthophile" and will remain more a "croconut" - forgive me -
And correct me if I may use wrongly cultivar names.

Enjoy the impressions...

And if anyone asks why my "avatar" is so different to the "latest pictures". The "avatar" was taken in summer. Now it is winter...
A full beard warms as good as a cap!
