The snowdrops and purple hellebores are now going great guns.

They are stunning Robert.  We keep trying to grow snowdrops but they always disappear after a couple of years.

That's odd; I find them indestructible. Are you buying dried-out bulbs of the sort sold by garden centres?

I'm with Flossie. Had some for years'n'years - only a few - some years they come up, some years they don't bother. This seems to be a 'haven't bothered' year. But I have hyancinths  hiacynths pretty spring bulbs showing colour in pots outside - so who cares? (Going to snow again soon! I LOVE snow! S*d snowdrops.) Sorry, had a v bad day. Off to bed. Will be better tomorrow. Night, night all. xxx

Hi Robert
We tried bulbs and then bought them in the green
maybe the cats dig them up?
Enjoy yours and please post again next year :)

Back to my usual 'amost human' state today, thanks Manics!   :) And, dear Robert - sorry I was so horrible about your snowdrops yesterday. They are really beautiful and I love them. It was just being 'miz' that made me so nasty - (and a bit of jealousy too!)  :-* (Have left a note to myself not to post anything when I'm feeling so grotty! :-[)

That's OK. I really do wonder why you have problems with them if you're starting with decent bulbs.
