I love snowdrops - when we arrived with the furniture van exactly 3 years ago, we had a wonderful surprise because our sellers also loved them and they had planted great drifts everywhere!

Snowdrops are my favourite flowers (not tulips, strangely enough).
One of the best displays I've seen to date is in the woodland of the Rococo Gardens, Painswick, Gloucestershire - a carpet of white in the most perfect of settings. Apparently, years gone by, on a certain day of the year, village children were allowed to come and pick bunches of snowdrops to take home to their mothers - what a lovely story.
