And here they are:
If you think the snowdrops look a little pudgy, you're right. Here's why:
They're very double doubles. By the time I got around to making a bulb order last fall, my sources were sold out of singles - but a few of these were left, and here they are. It felt odd buying them at all. My Virginia source was a neighbor down the road, who expected me in her garden each spring, shovel in hand, when it was snowdrop digging time. She had planted a few handfuls more than 40 years ago, they had multiplied gloriously, and my garden there was the happy beneficiary of all that generosity.
Waiting until April for snowdrops will make waiting for a package from Cornflower a piece of cake. I was the lucky winner of Karen's most recent Buy a Friend a Book draw. The prize? A surprise. All will be revealed when the book arrives....
