recently..

Hi, no posts recently as i've been thankfully very busy, so busy i didn't even notice the snowdrops all around me in full bloom, i should really get out more.

£357 was paid recently for a single snowdrop bulb (Galanthus plicatus EA Bowles) on ebay, collectors will still pay any amount it would seem for a horticultural rarity. It reminds me of the tulip mania madness in Europe centuries ago, but not quite.

Here's a link to a wiki article showing just what people traded a single bulb for back then.
