Snowdrop of the day - Week 5
Our fifth week of The Garden House snowdrop festival 'Snowdrop of the Day' and here are the ones we've picked that were on display in the garden between February 9th to 15th:
 |
| Galanthus nivalis Sandersonii Group 'Scotzen' |
 |
| Galanthus nivalis 'Warei' |
 |
| Galanthus plicatus 'Seraph' |
 |
| Galanthus 'Trymming' |
 |
| Galanthus woronowii |
 |
| Galanthus plicatus 'Elizabeth Harrison' |
 |
| Galanthus x valentini notho subsp. subplicatus |
A lot of the collection is limited to single or small numbers of bulbs, many harvested from other collections in danger of being lost due to the death of the owners. We have a duty to preserve and put these on display so others might enjoy them and what better environment than the 10 acre edge of Dartmoor plot that is The Garden House.
Of course we do have our drifts of the more vigorous species and varieties and I took these photographs in Dartmoor rain and drizzle / mizzle on the 9th February. Hope you enjoy the spectacle.
