    Did you have any problems with that loading Dove? The link takes me to the site but then won't load.
    Do you have a BBC Account @Uff?

    Sadly the guy doing this talk ALAN STREET died on 1st October 2022.
    For years he worked at Avon Bulbs in Somerset.

    A huge loss to his family and friends and all galanthophiles.

    Yes I do have a BBC account @GardenerSuze and @Dovefromabove, I'll try again after lunch.
    How sad @Silver surfer Again I'll read that too after lunch.

    Here's my latest snowdrop, G, snow fox. It reminds me of G. Lord Lieutenant but I don't suppose I can justify the price of that.

    Gal. Mighty Atom (gift from a gardening friend 😊) amongst lots of more common but just as beautiful snowdrops.

    Just purchased Galanthus Polar Bear at a local nursery. No flowers just six bulbs that look as if they will flower. Will post a photo if they do go on to flower they are said to be outward facing and very late flowering.

    I'm listening to Snowdrop Country whilst drooling over the beautiful photos on this wonderful thread. There is something special and magical about this pretty little flower and its timely appearance, whilst we're still shivering in the throes of winter. 
    Thank you everyone.

    Managed to get the podcast, that was most enjoyable thank you and has prompted me to get togged up and drive to a churchyard about 6 miles away to look at the snowdrops. I was last there 2 years ago and I won't miss a visit this year. Pics later.
    I'll read @Silver surfer's link when I get back
