A poem from Hugo von Hoffmannsthal about snowdrops:

One of the oldest prints of Snowdrops, here called "Schneetropfen" in Brunfels Kräuterbuch from 1590:
The drawing shows a real snowdrop in the left side, and a Leucojum in the right side under the tulip!

Thanks for that Harald.

If we can count music under the heading art;
Radio Three were playing a piece recently 'Snowdrop' by the Croatian composer Dora Pejačević - https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/41c4bb47-6c21-4754-ba75-e8bf554f7359

Galanthophiles probably know about the Snowdrop trails and events at  Cambo in Fife  ( Lady Catherine Erskine of Cambo is  the prime mover in the Scottish Snowdrop  events etc)  this  lovely quilt was pictured by a  member of the Aberdeen Embroiderers Guild,  hanging in the cafe at Cambo - pretty isn't it?

Really lovely. Planning to make a snowdrop quilt, now I feel inspired and no excuse as snowed in.

I hope you won't be snowed in long enough to make a whole quilt, Susan! Just long enough to get  inspired and  the job begun!!

In 2008 I took this picture in a cafe on the island of Texel in North Holland.  Is it actually the same quilt, do you think?  Looking closely I see it is not identical but the artist must be the same.

Thanks Maggie - I've looked them up - a bit pricey, but compared to a Snowdrop?  ;D Will see who I can persuade to by me some!!!
