Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus 'Comet' by the lake at Colesbourne Park. |
Snowdrops are again in the news today. There's a short note about Colesbourne Park by Annie Gatti on the The Daily Universal Register page of The Times, and an interesting and well-researched piece on galanthomania on the BBC website by Denise Winterman. It's available here.
In my garden in France, I have an entire hillside, running down to the river, entirely covered in snowdrops. It is an annual sight, followed by wild daffodils in the same profusion.
