snowdrops?
aquilegia:
I didn't buy any snowdrops - they were there when we moved in. Spreads about very rapidly.
I don't think it's wild garlic after lookign at some pics on the net. flowers face downwards not upwards like the garlic ones I found. Also are not on as long a stem. The bulbs look pretty much the same as bluebell bulbs.
confused!
Tenuse:
do the flowers have a little green "ouline" in the central drooping part? (don't quite know how to describe this!)
Or perhaps they are "snowflakes" which come out a bit later than snowdrops?
Go to www.google.co.uk and click on the Images tab, then do a search for both and see what you find!
Ten x
aquilegia:
Ten - had a look (thanks) no green bit as shown on the snowflakes.
philcooper:
Now you tell us - the flowers are dangly down - not pointy up!!!
The suggestion to look at web piccies seems good - I've looked in RHS Encyclopedia of Plants and Flowers and all dangly down small white flowers at this time of year are snowdrop or snowflake.
A good website is http://www.broadleighbulbs.co.uk/plantlistpages/snowdrops.htm
takes a bit to download as there are lots of snowdrop pics
You could try Wisley - they have a national collection of snowdrops see http://www.rhs.org.uk/research/plant_groups/ncgalanthus.asp
Mrs Ava:
Just a thought, I have dangly down ones (the doctor mentioned a good plastic surgeon...heheheh) and they are little mini aliums that I bought last year. Possible maybe ???
