Galanthophile Brian Ellis on Snowdrops

It's peak Snowdrop Season and here on Talking Dirty it looks like we've all caught the fever! Alan Gray has quite the collection at East Ruston Old Vicarage, while Thordis is enjoying her first forays into growing these delightful plants in her small suburban garden. So this week Galanthophile Brian Ellis is back on Talking Dirty to share some interesting varieties and the stories behind them. And next week he'll share great companion plants in the border, from Eranthis to Corydalis, Hamamelis to Hellebores.PLANT LISTGalanthus nivalis 'Anglesey Abbey'Galanthus plicatus 'Diggory'Galanthus 'Wasp'Galanthus 'Lydiard Diana'Galanthus elwesii 'Kermode Bear'Galanthus bursanusGalanthus nivalis 'Blonde Inge'Galanthus 'Schorbuser Irrlicht'Galanthus x valentinei 'Chameleon'Galanthus plicatus 'Glenorma'Galanthus plicatus 'Ace of Spades'Galanthus plicatus 'Trym'Galanthus plicatus 'Trymming'Galanthus plicatus 'Trymposter'Galanthus plicatus 'Trymlet'Galanthus x valentinei 'S.
