is gorgeous.

Wow I can't quite believe just how much of a following snowdrops have. Amazing one bulb for £360! Beautiful flowers mind, hoping the bulbs I planted last year come up soon. Thanks for the link Fran.

I saw some of these snowdrops on e.bay!! arent people silly, I purchased 150 bulbs last year (in the green) and not one has come up! (yet!!??) I watched the time lapse film on this artice Fran. wonderful.

thanks for the link, Sticki, that was awesome!

snowdrops seem to be becoming the new tulips - I read a bit about the tulip mania in Holland 'way back, the fantastic prices people were willing to pay - and how the bubble burst with a resounding thud.

;-)

Thanks for that great link! It made very interesting reading! What madness though to pay £360 for one, single bulb - even if it was the newest bulb out! Loved the colour though!

ah, some people have more money than sense - they have to be "the first" at whatever cost
