snowdrops?

(1/4) > >>

aquilegia:
My 'snowdrops' have multiple flowers on them and they flower from early Febish to May. I've been trying to work out what variety they are - any ideas?

They might be wild ones (do they exist?) As I doubt anyone bothered to plant them.

They smell like spring onions - is that normal?

philcooper:
They sound a bit like wild garlic to me, any chance of a photo?

Mrs Ava:
I agree, sound like wild garlic.  I planted some in my mums garden years ago, and altho pretty, it spread like crazy and on a warm spring morn, the fresh dew like air was filled with the scent of onions.  ;D

Sorry, just thought I would add.....did you buy the snowdrops or were they in the garden when you arrived?

aquilegia:
Interesting thought - Would that have a garlic-like bulb at the bottom? as they don't.

No chance of a photo just yet - I have an old fashioned film camera, so would have to wait to develop and scan in.

I'll see if I can find a pic of wild garlic on the net and compare!

Mrs Ava:
Nope, not garlic bulb, just normal little creamy coloured bulb.
