When I hear "snowdrops" I automatically think "white". I had no idea there were so many colors and forms. Are the bloom times varied? They must put on a breath-taking display en masse!

that is a beautiful page mark, very well put together and with some beautiful photos. I was reading 'Garden News' yesterday and thought of you. SOmeone wrote in saying that they had snowdrops flowering in their new garden in October and was this a new sign of early summer. The 'expert'wrote that yes it was. Having seen your photos of autumn flowering snowdrops I can see that he may be wrong. I think I will send them an email. WOuld you mind if I gave your webpage as a link of valuable info for readers?

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

yes please. thanks
