Title: Myddelton House Ultimate Snowdrop Day 2017
Post by: Blonde Ingrid on January 28, 2017, 04:17:35 PM: The Myddelton House Ultimate Snowdrop Day 2017, the warm up!

Josh Nelson and Emma T, discussing tactics and targets!

The utter nightmare of my snowdrop growing - the Inspector Gadget (Neil) and the MacGyver (my AT), in cahoots! The last discussion led to sand deposits in my freezer from ice blocks to chill Platyphyllus!!

Post Brexit, great to see our German friends (Martina Kopsieker), along with Dutch, Belgian and Japanese enthusiasts.

Arthur and Emma deep in thought over one of Arthur's lists

The lovely Cherry T, Mum of Emma, snowdrop hat lady and purveyor of fine cakes with Richard Williams!

Only just. It was raining when I arrived at 10:00 but miraculously the skies cleared around 10:30 and we had warm sunshine for the duration of the sale.

I think I can see the ripples on the water from the trout jumping!
