A number of you asked me to keep you up to date with my experiment cutting up the snowdrop bubs,they have progressed well i think helped by the mild winter weather.
At this point any one picking this up for the first time you would best look at the first blogs i did last autumn otherwise it will make little sense.
We last saw the minute bulbils being planted in there pots,the amount that have now surfaced with quite strong green leaves has surprised me,there is growth in all eight pots,when they dry a bit they will be given a half strength feed of tomorite which should help to build up a small bulb for next year.I dont expect i will be able to resist re potting them late spring,will then be able to see just how much they have grown,thats if you are not fed up with seeing them by then.

Yes have heard of them,There are lots of these national collection of Galanthus, I have about 30 different ones here which is minor compared to the real collectors,but enough for me .To be honest if I were to loose the labels i would not know what three quarters of them were.They are so different!.

Some are quite distinct i have one called wendy's gold,there the usual green in the flower is replaced by Yellow,there are others similar ,Also some very large Doubles and a couple with six outer petals,so it goes on,some differences are minute.
