Snowdrops, snowdrops everywhere!

31 comments


I went out to work in the garden today and realised just how many places in the garden there are where snowdrops are blooming! I just thought I’d share some of them with you.

Clumps of double ones…

Clumps in the shady border…

In Walter’s corner…

Round the silver birch…

In the wall overlooking the stream…

Round the younger ash tree…

Keeping Euonymus ‘Harlequin’ company…

In the wall with ‘Golden Harlequin’…

…Don’t you just love them!

These are great pics Spritz and the snowdrops look just gorgeous, especially the ones alongside the stream, what a beautiful place to have them.

I dont have any. We passed absoloutely loads on Sunday all naturlised along the hedgerows.
I must order some for next year. I know all the major suppliers charge about £8.00 for 100.

Yours look fantastic Spritz.

These look great and so many in so many different areas. Set my 100 bulbs at the weekend, I see what you mean about getting them In The Green - they look like they've always been there :-)

Thanks for showing us your snowdrops i've only got one snowdrop this year but quite afew crocus & they are looking well.

17 Feb, 2009

 

Hi, your snowdrops are super. They must have been in a long while to have soo many big clumps. Well done.

17 Feb, 2009

 

Wonderful......you have got a lot there, they obviously like your soil.

19 Feb, 2009

 

thats a lot of snowdrops hope mine spread like that!

19 Feb, 2009

 

I have to admit that many of them were planted by our predecessors, but I do split clumps and plant them elsewhere, and they do spread, too - so there are more every year! I love them!

19 Feb, 2009

 

After seeing your pictures, my mum has given me a nice big clump, so I'm going to pop some under my apple trees and see where they go!

20 Feb, 2009

 

Good! Make sure you split them up when you plant them - they'll soon spread. I 'rescued' the odd ones that had spread out about 4' from the main clumps round the ash tree, and I've planted them in another area. They'd have been run over by the mower, otherwise!

I DO love them, Spritz ! The Scottish Snowdrop Festival is in full swing here, and can't get enough - looks like you could have the equivalent right there, in your garden. Wonderful !

22 Feb, 2009

 

Wow! You must feel so uplifted as you walk around your garden Spritz? - I do this morning just sharing your photos of them! I hope the few I have will eventually spread like this.

26 Feb, 2009

 

Thanks, Jacque. They have all grown taller and opened up with the milder weather!

26 Feb, 2009

 

Their Beautiful Spritz i cant wait for My Snowdrops to spread as yours have :)

26 Feb, 2009

 

They will... and you can always split a clump now or when the flowers fade, to help the process along!

26 Feb, 2009

26 Feb, 2009
