Snowdrop events 2012

Ian Christie will be at Margaret Owen's day on Sunday. Make sure you say hello to him.

He was, and I did, also Cyril.

Nothing like a bit of sun to make them look good.... and the snowdrops, too

and my personal favourite, Woodpeckers
And to finish - That's not a snowdrop

Two stories overheard on the way round
1. (looking at the Leucojum) "that's a nice snowdrop, it's got spotty dotty petals"
2. "did you hear about that rare snowdrop in Scotland that went for thousands of pounds - I think it was a pink one"

what a year to miss Margaret Owens. Probably the warmest day there in years

I have to agree.  Freakily beautiful.  Still on my wish list. Ihave never seen it in the flesh anywhere.

Hi all. Cyril and I had a fantastic time on our trip down South the first visit was to Margaret Owens garden on the Sat then back on the Sunday for the sale it was really sunny and all the snowdrops were fantastic. We managed to meet several of the Snowdrop greats will post more pictures from the trip later, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

The very best way to start, Lina! 

And behind the terrace I see some VERY BIG snowdrops... real giants!

I can believe that..... but I expect not many people have a garden large enough for such rare flowers
