Snowdrops…
Snowdrops, a garden photographers favourite… we’ve spent the best part of two months couped up in an office, and now we can get up and out, and shoot some flowers… to me it signals the start of the ‘season’… here are a few from last year…
Galanthus (snowdrops), harbingers of spring… at last…
More Snowdrops
Garden and Plant Photography
Snowdrops are the subject of a plant ‘craze’ at the moment, and there are tales of single, rare snowdrop bulbs selling for hundreds of pounds on Ebay. Snowdrop fanatics are known as Galanthophiles and their ‘madness’ for the simple spring flower is a match for the Tulip craze of earlier centuries. I have never understood how anyone can get so carried away by a particular plant, but over the last year or two I have begun studying them and noting their beautiful patterns and markings… Its easy to see why you may become fascinated… I shot these photographs at the fantastic ‘Avon Bulbs’ in Mid Lambrook, Somerset, last week, and you can’t help but fall in love with them when they’re this close-up! Take a look at the different markings…

Snowdrops are all the same
All snowdrops are the same. Aren’t they? Flower and garden photography makes you look closely at the details, and these lovely little spring flowers are distinctive in their details… they may look like ‘little white flowers’, but look closely and the differences are evident. I shot these pictures at East Lambrook Gardens (former home of margery Fish, now owned by Mike Werkmeister), last spring… and I’m already looking forward to February when these plants will break through the frosty ground and pressage the oncoming spring… how poetic I am feeling this morning…

Galanthus 'South Hayes', 'White Wings' and 'Robin Hood'
At last, winter is officially dead… I visited East Lambrook Manor in Somerset today (and nearby Avon Bulbs… more from them tomorrow…) and was overjoyed , not just to feel the sun on my back, but to see thousands of different snowdrops in flower. I’m not a Galanthophile (lover of the Galanthus genus, AKA snowdrops), but there IS something about the tiny flowers and the fact that they really do mean the end of winter… Here are three of the many different types I shot today… enjoy! (thanks to newish owner Mike Werkmeister at East Lambrook)
