What are snowdrops? Little white wild flowers growing from bulbs, which are the first flowers out in the spring. Galanthus nivalis, giving it its proper name, comes in 75 different species, but only two are usually cultivated, singles and doubles judging by what I saw. Galanthus means "milk-white flowers", and nivalis means "loving snow".
Recently I saw a mention in the national newspaper that the Easton Walled Garden, near Grantham, Lincs. UK, was going to be opened to the public for two weeks, as the snowdrops were out. The house, Easton Hall, was bought in 1592 by Henry Cholmeley. It stood for 400 years before being demolished in the 1950s.
As well as opening up the gardens, they were offering a short photography course with a specialist botany photographer, who would show you how to photograph the flowers (one of my efforts above!).
Anyway, turn the pages and have a look...
