News from a far country
Sitting in Bradley International Airport, Hartford, Connecticut, on my way to Washington DC: news comes in an email from my mother that Galanthus reginae-olgae is in flower in their garden. The season has started!
There have been a number of postings of this years snowdrops on the SRGC forums. G. reginae-olgae have never done well in my garden and I am not a good pot grower of bulbs so must wait for the main season to arrive. It is always, however, a pleasure to view images from other more fortunate and skilful gardeners.
