Title: Schneeglöckchentage Nettetal 2014.

Today we did go to the Snowdropevent at Nettetal. It was very busy and we had a great time. I spoke to many members of the belgian forum and a few of this forum. These pictures will give you a short impression.

A much nicer day than last year when there was so much snow, eh?!!

It was much better. Last year we did not go because of the slippery roads and the very low temperature. The dutch guy working for Monksilver got undercooled last year.

Lovely to see your photos Lina, 'Nettetal' is something I shall never get to so it's great to see other galanthophiles enjoying themselves :D

Would be great to meet some of you in Germany. It is a very nice event. After visiting the sale you can visit the garden of Gunther Waldorf. It is only a 5 minutes walk.

I am sure you all would love it. The best part is, you can stroll along the stands like you do at the market. It is great during the whole day. Not only for 1 hour. And the coffee and cake and the talking to all the people you meet there is so nice.

I hope to meet more of you there next year.

Lina.

It may be a carefully-crafted illusion but it looks like it stretches on into the far distance.
