Galanthus ‘Golden Tears’
What do you do in January/February? Some people suffer from SAD.
My remedy is to get out in the garden.
These tough little beauties are prostrate in the frost but a bit of sunshine and warmth revives them. Supported by a host of other winter flowers they lift the spirits. The HPS special interest group host a meeting at this time of year and also run zoom lectures. A boon on long winter evenings. Why don’t you join?
But beware, galanthomania can bcome an addiction! The most expensive snowdrop so far on ebay was ‘Galanthus Golden Tears’ price for one bulb £1850.00! Of course you do not have to spend that much to enjoy the drifts on display at National Garden Scheme gardens http://www.ngs.org.uk where cheaper varieties will be on offer.
