I'd love to acquire some of these, but nobody seems to sell them.

If anyone has some spares, I'd love to buy them. Please send me a PM if you can help. Thank you.

They are in a good leaf mould rich soil. Mine, only 2, are in a woodland trough that has a planting mix made up of top soild, grit and leaf mould

I saw some at Snape cottage over the weekend (not for sale) & was attracted to it by the foliage as well as the flower.

It's a super snowdrop and a nice memorial to Sophie and her dad and the Snowdrop campaign that resulted in the banning of hand-guns in the UK.

I'll keep quiet that, for some stupid reason, I decided not to buy them at £3.00 for two bulbs on the AGS stand at the Kent show last year....   :-[
