Snowdrops

The older I get the more I understand Galanthophiles and their obsession with snowdrops. Their milk white flowers bring so much joy on a bright frosty morning.

A spectacle in masses outside - visit Welford Park for the biggest of them all!

They like to be divided and spread about ‘in the green’ so divide a couple of plants from the garden and pot up into flower pots to put on the kitchen table. Once the flowers are over you can replant them in the same space or start a new colony in a slightly shady spot beneath trees or shrubs. If you don’t have any in your garden then you can buy small pots of them from garden centres at this time of year.
