Snowdrops are gleaming in the garden now in time for our NGS open days tomorrow and Sunday 3rd and 4th February. i rather think some are flowering early this year perhaps because of the warm weather in December. Whatever the reason they are now looking wonderful and inspiring. we just hope for a bit of sunshine to make them glisten and shine. Happily our efforts to increase the number of aconites in the wood seem to have worked because we have more than ever before making a lovely contrast to the icy sheen of the snowdrops – winter gold. Not that we have the great swathes of yellow that some lucky gardeners are blessed with. They seem not to like us very much but with much effort we now have about a dozen nice plants and they do seem to be beginning to seed themselves around.
