Nature’s Subtleties: Double Snowdrops

I rarely resist bending down to look inside a double snowdrop. Like most aspects of gardening, it’s hard on the knees, but uplifting to the soul.

The hurried passerby thinks all snowdrops are the same. It’s only by sparing those few extra moments to look closer that we start to appreciate nature’s subtleties.

  1. I was talking to a friend just this week about the ways the Chelsea Physic Garden display snowdrops so that you don’t have to grovel. However, more normally I am on the ground with wet knees!

  2. i LOVE snowdrops – everything about them – they can bloom in the snow, they are fragile looking and dainty, and they are white! Have never seen these dounle ones!
