Some superb plants at the Hexham Alpine Garden Society show today @Alpine

Open every Thursday until 9 March, Westcroft #wiltshire is a ⅔ acre galanthophile’s garden with drifts of snowdrops and a growing collection of over 400 named varieties. Hellebores, pulmonarias, grasses and seedheads add interest. Find out more: findagarden.ngs.org.uk/garden/22098/w…

First sighting of roadside snowdrops for 2024. #galanthophile #MonnowValley #Monmouthshire

Love these Silver Birch at Anglesey Abbey.
Was way too busy to photograph the snowdrops though.
I feared being trampled underfoot

Note to self: avoid Sundays during galanthophile season

Are you a galanthophile?

It means lover of snowdrops!
Snowdrops are important for bees - they are one of the first flowers. They are a rich source of pollen which is essential food for raising healthy bees.

I’m not a Galanthophile like some of you out there BUT this snowdrop at work has beautiful large flowers unlike the other ones here😍
(OH NO!!! PLEASE DON’T TELL ME THAT THIS IS HOW IT STARTS😳😬)

#SixOnSaturday Perennials are romping away despite the chilly temperatures. Think my plants are about a month early this year

What’s the cultivar for these snowdrops please, ‘grumpy spaniel’? #galanthophile #snowdrops

#ThickTrunkTuesday 🌲Pinus ponderosa, Western Yellow Pine, at Anglesey Abbey #Cambridge in morning sunshine before the #galanthophile invasion. Only TROBI Champion pine for county outside Botanic Garden. 23.5m high, 241cm girth in 2019. Anglesey Abbey National Trust in the East

These came from elderly friend of my Mama, she heard my #BBCGQT feature on #snowdrops . She says they are special, labels long gone, given to her years ago by well known #galanthophile but can't recall her name.The yellow double is pretty tall and looks divine. Roll on next Feb🤗
