True to his word, Craig of Ellis Hollow did indeed visit the Temple Nursery on Open Garden Day, and took pictures. If you haven’t stopped over to read his account and get a glimpse of the variety possible within the genus Galanthus, now would be a good time to go take a look. I was out of town and couldn’t go myself, so I really appreciate Craig making time in his busy schedule to photograph what must be the most extensive collection of snowdrops in the United States.

That little snowdrop is a work of art. How lovely.
That’s how you know you’re visiting a classy place… it has a folly out back by the pond. Actually, come to think of it, we have a folly of sorts too, but we live in it!
The snowdrop is indeed beautiful and thank you for sharing your tips on cold climate growing. As we here in the Southern Hemisphere head into Autumn I’ll be needing all the help I can get!

I am going for a look at Craig’s site – the snowdrop shown above is beautiful.
It was my pleasure, believe me. Anyone in our neck of the woods who would like to know more, be sure to attend Hitch’s presentation at the Adirondack Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society next Saturday, April 19 on the Cornell campus in Ithaca.
