Thomas - I think you are on the slippery slope to being an avid collector of snowdrop memorabilia  ;D

Now for my 'oops moment'.....     :-[  

I've been looking all season in my garden for 'Ivy Cottage Green Tips'.  I knew there should be a pot full of it somewhere and I have searched and searched for it and yet failed to find it.

Then this morning I spotted one poor little flower peering out from under a stepping stone.   :-[  Whoops.   ::)

I wonder if you are hoping it comes up yellow next year as well.

Talk about putting your foot on it!

Having driven to Joe's SPRINGTHING only to find that due to the cold weather Joe had had to call off the event. However Joe had plenty of drops for sale including a number of E A Bowles which I noticed at least one had been sold. I spoke with Steve who was struggling with two full bags of drops and on the way out I had a word with Alan(B) who convinced me that Wandlebury Country Park drops were still in good shape.

A few shots of the country park drops follow. A Warden showed me an interesting clump with very pale inner markings. This clump on Friday still had four flowers but by mid day Saturday only one was left attached and one picked one laying nearby on the ground. I trust these will be moved off a well walked area to a safer place where the trowel brigade can't spot them.

Will have to post the nivals shots in a second posting.

I'm told people do try to steal drops from Wandlebury but I hope it's not a brigade of people.  The main problem is people who trample them or pick them and animals that uproot them.  A few probably try to take some home to plant in their garden and damage ten in order to get one.

Those bags were full of primulas - didn't buy a single snowdrop. See my halo?

Hi all!

Due to the very cold winter snowdrops in our garden are about 2 weeks later than usual:
