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.
Galanthus Polar Bear up here is the last to flower. Mid March Pic 4 was taken 21st March 2021.
I went to the church yard and took a few pics but obviously can't post them all on here. They are en mass and can barely put a foot down without treading on them. Fascinating grave stones too. It was this site that started my interest in the stones and that most have a meaning and sometimes hidden messages.
Crikey I like polar bear now. I have to admit that I'm a push over for snowdrops. I even have a snowdrop brooch
Beautiful.
A friend had a lovely necklace..Silver and enamel. Told me it was made Sheila Fleet from Orkney. I had never heard of her. Since then I have seen her exquisite jewelry for sale in shops. Snowdrops are just one of her themes. I still do not own anything made by her...but I can dream!
I love her green enamel and silver brooch, love the pendants too. Strangely, I prefer the silver to gold, I think it complements the flower more. I too can only dream @Silver surfer
@Silver surfer Thankyou for posting the photos of G Polar Bear. The bulbs were only just through in the pot which drew my attention. With a name like Polar Bear I assumed it was a large snowdrop too. For me I was instantly hooked !
There were lots of different ones to choose from, whilst I was looking a little girl ran past and stopped in her tracks." Oh Snowdrops" she said and her face lit up at the sight. Loved by everyone I think.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
