I must plant some snowdrops
T'is cheap to do, and the clump up quickly. Mine have been in 3 years or so, and look "established" already. I paid £70 / 1,000 (and the "counting" seems to guess and err on the generous side). Mine came from www.eurobulbs.co.uk

Did you takr those pictures recently DD?

Yesterday!

Been to Hodsock at least twice - wonderful display although timing is everything of course (one day like yours DD, another one, er, not!)
-
We picked yesterday because of the weather forecast. There's not been a lot of suitable days recently and there's little point going if the weather's miserable!
-
They have those winter flowering honeysuckle bushes which have a fantastic citrus aroma. Delicious!

DD, did you mean moi? :lol: It is a lovely place. I've been twice & actually thought about going again last Sunday, but we went to Bradgate. It's not far from my home town of Doncaster so took my Mum the second time & she liked it too. Lovely photo's & lucky you for choosing the right day. Did they have a bonfire down in the woody bit?
-
Yes they did and just hit the right time for a talk from the current occupant.

Beautiful pictures DD :D
I love snowdrops and cyclamen and have both in my garden, but to see huge swathes of them like that is a real treat :D
