Oh and we have never bought any G. nivalis bulbs except for a the double version. All the ones we have bought are other species, like G ewersii and G. fosteri and some others whose names I always forget.
There is usually a good show of them at the Early Bulb show in Caerleon in February. (Alpine Garden Society show).
Shall do! need to get some more, as I fear none of the dry bulbs will ever emerge
Wasn't sure if sticking them into the ground when night temperatures are almost or around freezing, would do them any good, but I suppose they are tough little plants.
Has anyone ever been to see the snowdrop garden/Winter Garden at Anglesey Abbey, by the way? It was recommended by someone on this thread and I'm really tempted to go.
..I went to Anglesey Abbey a couple of years ago.... snowdrops all out but they do tend to all look the same to me.. I think you have to get very close to detect real differences in some of them...
I preferred the winter garden walk...there is such a dramatic surprise as you turn a corner that lives long in the memory...

Lovely photo.
Thanks of all the tips, though now don't know whether to plant together or split! I only have small pot of 3 mind you...

If you've got a pot of 3 I'd plant them like that Jess. Maybe a little deeper than they are in the pot.
Some potted bulbs are very shallow.

I love your snowdrop wood Berghill. I hadn't thought of putting snowdrops in my woodland corner but I will now.

Berghill - what I wouldn't give to have enough space for a snowdrop WOOD!
As Dove says, deep envy
Some day I shall have a garden large enough to swing a cat in, I just know it

Ooooh, now you've got me really curious! I think I'll have to go
Thanks Salino.
