Well I'm just back from the Cottage Garden Snowdrop event and finally have time to sit down and post a few pictures.

I had a great day out with John, Emma and Mike on Friday on my way to Bristol. Wonderful garden, snowdrops, cake and birds.  I left John to take the pictures, the bird ones are amazing, through glass at least 15ft  from the feeder, very impressive.

The garden today that the cottage garden group visited was lovely. The whole garden was immaculately managed, with clipped topiary, beautifully clipped, pruned and trained shrubs, framed views etc etc.  A real joy.

The best bit was of course the snowdrops which have been artfully planted and spread to look really natural.  It did look as if there had been quite a lot of self seeding and cross pollinating and because the style was natural and therefore no labelling I have not even attempted to name any of the photos.  Just 'Hanham Court' 1,2,3 etc.

Some more,  including a little snowdrop PR,  I didn't notice any security guards but I think Joe may have needed them

Thanks for showing us those Jo, I was sorry to miss it this year.  No wonder it was on a friends list of gardens to get to.

Thanks for the pictures Jo - it looks a lovely garden.  I could have attended in the end as Kent was 'rained off'.

I assume he's holding a potful of E.A. Bowles for the camera then?

If anyone still wants an E A Bowles this season, it looked as if Joe had several available on the Monksilver Nursery stand at5 CGS Bristol.

We had our Dutch SnowdropGala near the Zaanse Schans yesterday and almost a 1000 visitors!!
Here are some pics made at 08.30 am.
We had a other exhibition part then last year with all small other bulbs besides the snowdrops.
After these photos i had no time for a cup of coffe and a sandwich till 16.00 pm, Gala's are exhausting

I see lots of yellow but are there Narcissus for sale?

[Gerard Oud]

They were all for exhibition from www.kwekerijdeschullhorn.nl
And the yellow ones were Crocus, Fritillaria, Narcis and i see that i should have made more close-ups. Next year better!
And the old pushbike with Eranthis of course!
