Title: Newbie
Post by: Ant-k on February 17, 2014, 08:59:25 PM: Hello

I am pretty much a newbie in that I only got into galanthus about 3 years ago after buying a primrose Warburg off Avon bulbs..At the time I can remember how excited I was to have a 'yellow'snowdrop in my garden,especially when the following year it had multiplied into 4 more flowers.
I was looking for some interest in my small garden before my real passion of hostas start to grow and take over.
Galathus are perfect for growing around my hostas,but what I had not bargained for was how these little plants take hold of you!
Over the last couple of years I have managed to buy some of the 'Trym' family and a couple more 'yellows'..
After reading many topics on this forum i am now becoming quite obsessed by these little plants!
I look forward to reading many more articles and looking at all the great photos with much envy

Isn't it great that we can become utterly obsessed and addicted to plants - and it's all legal and no-one will lock us up for it?
