do you have a dentist's mirror to enjoy them?
One bulb of some can cost much more than a good Paph plant!
.......The yellow ones pictured above are about £30 a bulb so I do understand! One went on eBay last year for over £400 for one bulb!!!
Linus, read the detailed descriptions before you buy them online, including Etsy. There are a few granite lanterns listed on Esty for less than $100 but they are miniatures, ~6"-10" tall. I am assuming that is not what you are looking for. The large granite lantern will cost a lot more, and unfortunately, there is not a lot available at the moment....
Thanks abax. If you do, it's well worth searching out some named forms (though not too many of the more expensive ones!).
S.Arnott (or sold as Sam Arnott) and James Backhouse (often sold, incorrectly, as Atkinsii) are both up to twice the size of standard snowdrops and the flowers are much, much bigger.
Wait, what is the name for the ones with yellow ovary? I've never seen those! I wish I had a garden.
I love seeing Snowdrops popping up signaling the arrival of spring.
Those hardy cyclamen leaves are lovely also!
There is a great grower/hybridizer of Snowdrops on the outskirts of Philadelphia.... his Name is John Lonsdale. He also breeds hardy Cyclamen which I see you have in some of your photos. Lol... I just realized Linus gave you a link to his website - Edgewood Gardens. He is a very nice guy to deal with and his property is beautiful.
Angela, you are rich! White Flower Farm has been in business for decades...while they have some good stuff but the price is never "reasonable". The same goes for Wayside Gardens. I would buy from them if I can't find an alternative source. I guess I am just living frugally.White Flower Farm is well-stocked with bulbs in the fall and the prices are reasonable.
