But there may be a danger of you becoming a galanthomaniac Cathy! See my PS on the post....

enjoyed the link. glad they mentioned tulip fever in Holland in the 1600s. I read an interesting book - fiction - called Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach where the tulip trade was an integral part of the story.

My chum in Kerala sent me the link this morning. He must miss snowdrops despite the fact that he can grow mangoes!

Well wouldn't that be a thing. Pink snowdrops. Someone would undoubtedly pay £2000 for it but I think I prefer the white!

Take care on the slippery slope. Enjoy your specials while you may Jessica.

I had been wondering about your pink tinged snowdrops! And on the topic of new varieties, how is Rosa Freda Anne? (Have I got that right?)

I've had no luck with cuttings from Rosa Freda Anne Lotta, nor with Chrysanthemum spectabile Cecila I'm sad to say. I fear I may be losing my touch! Plan to keep trying though.

Forgot to say I was watching snowdrops opening in slow motion on YouTube yesterday... If you search for time lapse snowdrops there are quite a few.

They almost 'popped' in the warmth of the room and the lamp! Leave a Reply. |
